IRIS + Bank Reconciliation: Complete Workflow
Preparing for bank reconciliation and using IRIS? Monthly bank reconciliation requires matching every bank transaction against your accounting records. Working from PDF statements makes this slow and error-prone. BankScan AI bridges the gap between your bank's PDF statements and IRIS's import feature.
BankScan AI → IRIS for Bank Reconciliation
Convert bank statement PDFs to CSV formatted for IRIS import. Convert bank statement PDFs to Excel for fast side-by-side reconciliation with your accounting records. Sort by date, filter by amount, and spot discrepancies instantly.
How It Works
Upload your bank statement PDF
Supports all major banks. Upload Monthly, covering one calendar month per reconciliation cycle; year-end reconciliation covers the full 12-month period of statements.
AI formats for IRIS
Output as CSV with Date, Narrative, Debit, Credit — IRIS uses Narrative instead of Description and requires separate Debit/Credit columns — dates in DD/MM/YYYY.
Import and use for bank reconciliation
Upload into IRIS and use the reconciled data for bank reconciliation.
Supported Banks
BankScan AI works with all major UK and US banks, including:
IRIS + Bank Reconciliation Features
- IRIS ready — Output formatted as CSV matching IRIS's expected column structure
- Smart integration — IRIS links bank transactions directly to tax computations, so imported statements feed into both bookkeeping and tax return preparation simultaneously.
- Built for Bank Reconciliation — Convert bank statement PDFs to Excel for fast side-by-side reconciliation with your accounting records. Sort by date, filter by amount, and spot discrepancies instantly.
Import for Bank Reconciliation into IRIS
After converting your bank statements for bank reconciliation:
- In IRIS Accountancy Suite, open the client file, go to Bank > Import Transactions
- Select the CSV file, map columns to Date, Narrative, Debit, Credit, and import
Common Import Issues
IRIS is strict about column naming — use 'Narrative' not 'Description'. Also requires the CSV to not contain any currency symbols in amount columns.
IRIS Import for Bank Reconciliation
Best practice is to reconcile within 5 working days of month-end; delays compound and make year-end reconciliation significantly harder
