In a bank reconciliation the amount of checks outstanding would be?

In a bank reconciliation, the amount of checks outstanding refers to checks that have been written and recorded in the company's accounting records but have not yet been cleared by the bank. These checks reduce the bank balance when they are eventually presented for payment. To reconcile the bank statement, the total of outstanding checks is subtracted from the bank's balance to arrive at the adjusted cash balance. This ensures that the company's records align with the bank's records.
