The Schedule 06 is also known as the Schedule Summary of Bank Reconciliation.
This is required to be filed for cities and towns, but is recommended that special purpose districts prepare this to have on file for an audit.
Debits and Credits
The Schedule 6 report compares the actual bank statement values to the entries in BIAS. Bank Statement Credits and Debits values must be entered in the Reconcile Bank Accounts screen. If this is not done the Schedule 06 will list the bank accounts that do not balance to the selected credits and debits. The treasurer’s report will balance without the debits and credits being entered, but the Schedule 06 report will not.

- The Unreconciled Variance at the bottom of the report should be 0. If there are differences, check the Print Xref Detail and rerun the Schedule 06 to provide clarification of the differences.
Correcting Errors
When errors appear in the report, it is important to understand why.
For example, months with stop payments should have a negative balance in both the credit and debit balances. Do NOT correct the bank credits and debits. Let the net remain negative for both. BIAS will add up the stop payments for each month. If the stop payments equal the credit and debit negative balance, the month will not print with an error.
The report will list any bank account reconciliation that appears to have an error. The report is correct but comes out with some errors listed don’t go back and correct them.
For example shown below, a report that has passed because the stop payment processed over a two (2) month period so the report printed the errors. The balance is actually correct because it balanced out over the two (2) month period.
This is an example of the bank credit and debit amounts being overstated to correct for the stop payment. If amount is being overstated for the stop payment go back to Reconcile Bank Accounts and correct.
This is an example of a month with incorrect bank debits and credits entered.
After fixing any errors, rerun the Schedule 06 with Updated Treasurers Reports checked.
Generating a PDF document also creates an Excel file.
Once the report shows all of the Unreconciled Variance with zeros, BIAS will create a csv file with the required values for you to copy and paste to the template. Hosted clients will get a message that it is complete and where it is located, local installs will click Open CSV.
