What data is extracted from BRAC Bank statements?

The converter specifically identifies and extracts all key financial details from your BRAC Bank PDF statements. This ensures that the resulting Excel file contains all necessary information for accurate record-keeping and analysis.

• Transaction Date: The specific date when the transaction occurred.
• Value Date: The date when the transaction's value takes effect, if different from the transaction date.
• Description/Narration: A detailed explanation of the transaction as provided by BRAC Bank.
• Debit: Amounts deducted from your account, shown as positive values in the debit column.
• Credit: Amounts added to your account, shown as positive values in the credit column.
• Running Balance: The account balance after each transaction is posted.

Each of these data points is placed into its own column in the Excel spreadsheet, making it easy to sort, filter, and analyze.

Working with BRAC Bank data in Excel

Once you have your BRAC Bank statement in Excel, you gain significant flexibility for financial management. Excel is a powerful tool for accountants, bookkeepers, and business owners in Bangladesh to manage their finances.

Reconciliation and Analysis

Excel allows you to quickly reconcile your bank statements against your accounting records. You can use formulas like =SUMIF() to total specific types of transactions or =VLOOKUP() to match transactions between different datasets. For example, to verify all salary payments in a month, you could filter by description and sum the credit amounts.

Here’s a simple example of how you might use Excel for reconciliation:

• Create a pivot table: Summarize expenses by category if your descriptions are consistent.
• Identify discrepancies: Compare your general ledger entries to the bank statement data side-by-side using conditional formatting to highlight unmatched amounts.
• Budget vs. Actuals: Track spending against budgets by importing your budget data into another sheet and using formulas to compare actual bank transactions.

Preparing for Accounting Software Import

While some accounting software like Tally or many cloud-based solutions can directly import CSV files, having data in Excel provides an intermediate step. You can clean, categorize, or reformat your BRAC Bank data before exporting it to CSV for import. For instance, you might add a 'Category' column in Excel and fill it in before importing to Tally.

This allows you to ensure column headers match your accounting software's requirements or perform bulk updates that are easier to do in Excel than directly within an accounting system.

If you need to directly import into other systems, consider converting your BRAC Bank statements to CSV. For QuickBooks users, a direct BRAC Bank to QuickBooks conversion is also available.

Does it work with scanned BRAC Bank statements?

Yes, the converter handles scanned or image-based BRAC Bank PDF statements. Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology is employed to read the text from these image-based PDFs. This means you can still convert statements that might have been received as scans or photographs.

After OCR, the system performs validation checks. Crucially, the extracted transaction totals (debits and credits) are compared against the opening and closing balances printed on your BRAC Bank statement. This cross-referencing ensures the accuracy of the conversion, even for documents that aren't natively digital PDFs.
