CThe start of every month

Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. The end of the financial year
1. Adjusting the cash book before BRS is optional during interim reconciliations.
2. At year-end the cash book must reflect the true bank balance for the balance sheet to be correct.
3. Hence the adjusted cash book is mandatory at year-end, not at month-end, quarter-end, or weekly intervals.
