What to Focus On

  • Errors may occur in the journal, subsidiary books, ledger, or trial balance.
  • Rectification means removing the effect of an error and arriving at the correct position.
  • Quickly found errors may be corrected by striking out the wrong figure with one line and writing the correct figure above it.
  • Two sided errors do not affect the trial balance.
  • One sided errors affect the trial balance.
  • Two sided errors include errors of omission, commission, principle, and compensating errors.
  • Two sided errors affect two accounts equally and do not disturb the trial balance.
  • Rectification follows double entry principles.
  • There are four basic rectifying rules based on excess or short debit/credit.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Two sided errors affect the Trial Balance, while one sided errors do not.

Suspense Account is used for every error that is found after the books are closed.

The difference in the Trial Balance is entered on the larger side of the Trial Balance.
