This provides a clear snapshot of lying unreconciled amount in the organization at any point in time.
The Cash/Bank account reflects only the balance that has been reconciled with the transactions of Bank.

The Cash Clearing process creates accounting entries to record the actual settlement in your cash/bank account in general ledger only when you clear the payment transactions in the system during the reconciliation process.
Till reconciliation happens the amounts are parked in 'Cash Clearing Account'.

This provides a clear snapshot of lying unreconciled amount in the organization at any point in time.
