Corrections Of Errors
Akopọ
Discovering an error is only half the job. The harder, more examinable skill is putting it right with proper double entry, so that the records end up exactly as they should have been all along. Every correction is made through the journal first, then posted to the ledger, and the journal entry must itself balance. Some errors leave the trial balance agreeing and are corrected with a simple two-account journal. Others throw the trial balance out, and these are corrected with the help of a temporary suspense account.
In this lesson you will learn to write journal entries that correct errors cleanly, to open and clear a suspense account, and to trace the knock-on effects of a correction on the reported profit and on the statement of financial position. This is one of the most rewarding topics in the course: master the logic and a whole family of exam questions becomes routine.
