discussion post the bank reconciliation 1

For this module’s Excel’s assignments, you were required to reconcile the cash account.

As part of internal control procedures, the bank reconciliation should be done by someone outside the accounting function.

What control procedures should be put into place to ensure the bank reconciliation fulfills its purpose of internal control? How would you create the separation of duties needed? How will you document this for audit purposes?
