Review the steps typically involved in preparing a bank reconciliation: These include comparing the bank statement balance with the company's cash account balance, identifying outstanding checks and deposits in transit, and recording journal entries for bank service charges and interest earned.

Analyze the options provided in the question: Determine which of the listed steps are part of the bank reconciliation process and which are unrelated.
