All of the following reasons are benefits of payroll bank account reconciliations EXCEPT to determine:

Bank reconciliation is a core internal control that involves comparing the company’s bank statement to its internal general ledger records. Its primary benefits include identifying bank charges or fees that haven ' t been recorded in the ledger (Option A), identifying timing differences like deposits in transit (Option B), and detecting outstanding or uncashed employee checks (Option C). Uncashed checks are particularly important for monitoring potential escheatment requirements. However, a bank reconciliation cannot determine if " employee checks were not issued " (Option D). Reconciliation only looks at transactions that have already been recorded in the system or processed by the bank. If a check was never issued to an employee, there would be no record in the ledger or the bank statement for the reconciliation process to identify. Verifying that all eligible employees were paid requires a separate audit of the payroll register against time records.
