Outstanding check

A payment recorded in your books that hasn't cleared the bank yet.

A payment you've recorded and sent that hasn't cleared the bank yet. Like deposits in transit, it's a normal timing difference that reconciliation must account for when bridging the books to the statement.

In Bizdivers: reconciliation reports group outstanding checks and deposits in transit explicitly, with the note that together they bridge the statement to the books. See Reconcile your bank, and prove it.
