The item would be included in the bank reconciliation as an addition to the balance as per the records of the company.

Explanation:

Bank reconciliation is the procedure in which the balances of the entity accounting records for a cash account to the corresponding information on a bank statement is matched.

In this case, as the check is drawn by the company which means that the same amount is to be deducted from the company books but the amount of $430 got deducted which is a wrong amount as the actual amount is $340, so the amount to be added back to the balance as per company records.
