Definition of outstanding check

Outstanding checks are those checks that are not presented for the payment.

Whether the item is added or subtracted

11. Interest revenue is revenue that increases the balance of the company. Hence, it is added to the book balance.

12. NSF check means checks that do not have sufficient balance in the account. Hence, these checks are deducted from the book balance.

13. Deposit in transit is the balance deposited into the bank but not recorded by the bank; hence, this amount is added to the bank balance.

14. Service charges are the charges collected by the bank hence, it deducted from the book balance as it is not recorded in book balance.

15. Outstanding check is the check that is issued but not presented for the payment. Outstanding checks are deducted from the bank balance.
