This document discusses various types of accounting errors and how to rectify them. It outlines two main types of errors: two-sided errors, which do not affect the trial balance, and one-sided errors, which do affect the trial balance. Two-sided errors include errors of omission, commission, original entry, principle, and compensating errors. One-sided errors require using a suspense account to rectify. The document provides examples for each type of error and explains how to make the correcting journal entries to rectify the errors.
Humans can make unintentional errors, but in Accounting, there is an option to make a Rectification entry for the errors.
Some errors affect the Trial Balance, some not
Rectification of errors depends on the timing of its detection:
1.Errors detected before preparation of Trial Balance are corrected by
"Writing a Narration" for Single Sided Errors &
" Rectified entry for Double Sided Error"
2. Errors detected after Trial Balance : by
" Opening Suspense A/C for Single Sided Errors"
" Rectification Entry"
3. Errors detected in Next accounting period :
Through P&L Adjustment Accounts
Here is the bank reconciliation statement presented to show the overdraft balance:
- Begin with the overdraft balance per the cash book

This presentation clearly shows the bank overdraft position.
This document discusses rectification of accounting errors. It defines rectification and explains two types of errors: two-sided errors that don't affect the trial balance, and one-sided errors that do affect it. For two-sided errors, a rectifying journal entry is passed to correct the accounts. For one-sided errors found before closing, accounts are directly adjusted; if after, a suspense account is used along with journal entries to rectify the error and clear the suspense account. The suspense account is a temporary account used to reconcile differences in the trial balance until the actual error is found.
A trial balance is a financial statement that lists the debit and credit balances of all accounts in the general ledger. It is prepared to check the arithmetic accuracy of the ledger accounts and help detect errors. The trial balance is not a conclusive proof of accuracy as certain errors may remain undetected even if the debit and credit totals match. Common errors include omissions, incorrect postings, or wrong account balances. If errors cannot be found, a suspense account is used to temporarily balance the trial balance.
1) Branch accounting involves keeping separate accounts for each branch location of a company to provide transparency into each branch's transactions, cash flows, financial position, and performance.
2) There are two main types of branches - dependent branches, which have their accounts maintained by headquarters, and independent branches, which maintain their own separate double-entry bookkeeping systems.
3) Independent branches are treated as separate accounting units, recording their own transactions, preparing trial balances, and forwarding these to headquarters to incorporate into consolidated financial statements for the whole company.

1. Errors can occur during recording transactions, posting transactions, or both. Errors that affect only one side of a transaction or account are easier to rectify than two-sided errors.
2. Corrections are made by drawing lines through incorrect entries and inserting the right information, or by making correcting journal entries. Suspense accounts are used when trial balances do not match due to unidentified errors.
3. The timing of corrections depends on whether errors are identified before or after key financial statements are prepared. Individual accounts can be corrected before statements, while after requires netting corrections through profit/loss or balance sheet accounts.

The suspense account is a temporary account used to hold unclassified transactions when a trial balance does not balance due to discrepancies. It acts as a holding account with the difference between total debits and credits until the error is identified. The suspense account is opened with the imbalance amount on the debit side if total debits are higher, or on the credit side if total credits are higher. Once errors are located, entries are moved from the suspense account to their proper accounts to clear the suspense account balance.
This document discusses various types of bank deposits and accounts in India. It describes fixed deposits, which have a fixed maturity period and pay high interest.

Capital expenditure & Revenue expenditureMudassir Raza
Capital expenditures are typically one-time large purchases of fixed assets that will be used for revenue generation over a longer period. Revenue expenditures are the ongoing operating expenses, which are short-term expenses used to run the daily business operations.
It is the system in which both the aspects i.e. debit as well as credit are recorded in the books of accounts .It records transactions relating to all the accounts i.e. personal, real and nominal.

1) The income statement shows profits/losses over time.
2) The balance sheet presents assets, liabilities, and equity on a given date.
3) The cash flow statement shows cash inflows and outflows from operating, investing, and financing activities over time.
Together these statements provide useful information to investors and management, while also having some limitations since they only represent past performance and financial snapshots versus future potential.
This document discusses rectification of errors in accounting. It defines four types of errors: omission errors, commission errors, principle errors, and compensating errors. Omission errors occur when a transaction is not recorded, while commission errors happen during posting and balancing. Principle errors involve incorrectly classifying revenue and capital items. Compensating errors occur when incorrect entries offset each other. Errors are located through statements, audits, comparing Trial Balance debit and credit totals, and checking subsidiary books. A suspense account is used temporarily to hold differences in the Trial Balance until the error is found. Rectifying entries are passed to correct the books once an error is identified. Errors can affect profit calculation if they involve Trading, Profit and

Rectification of error anjali kumbhar- xi-canjalik1804
This document discusses the rectification of accounting errors. It provides guidance on when errors occur, how to identify them, and the procedures for correcting them. The key points are:
1. Errors can occur when transactions are not recorded, recorded incorrectly, or posted to the wrong account.
2. Errors identified before the trial balance should be corrected by entering offsetting journal entries. Errors after should be corrected by adjusting the balance sheet accounts or profit and loss.
3. Suspense accounts are used to correct one-sided errors or when the trial balance is out of balance. The suspense account fulfills the double-entry requirement.
4. Omitted transactions require new journal entries to record both

The document provides an introduction to auditing, including:
1. The origin of auditing dates back over 2000 years to ancient Egypt and Greece, where audits were conducted to check accounts and hear explanations for suspected fraud.
2. An audit examines an entity's financial records and enables the auditor to determine if the balance sheet and profit/loss statement accurately reflect the entity's financial position and performance.
3. The main objectives of an audit are to detect and prevent errors, detect and prevent fraud, express an independent opinion on the accounts, and act as a moral check.
The word, ‘Audit’ is derived from the Latin term “audire” which means to hear. Audit is a thorough review of a department’s records and reports, in order to verify that assets and liabilities are properly recorded on the balance sheet and all profits and losses are properly assessed. To meet the objectives of Audit, verification of revenue, expenditure, bank deposits, bank reconciliations, accounts payable and accounts receivable, cash, loans and advances, disbursement and regular transactions is very necessary.

Rectification of Errors by N. Bala Murali Krishnabala13128
Errors sometimes occur when recording accounting events. To rectify errors, a new correcting entry must be made rather than altering the original incorrect entry. There are several types of errors, including errors of omission (leaving out entries entirely), errors of commission (recording entries incorrectly), errors of principle (incorrectly classifying items), and compensating errors (errors that offset each other). Errors can affect the trial balance if they involve incorrect totals, balances, or postings, but some errors like incomplete omissions or wrong original entries do not affect the trial balance. Errors must be rectified when discovered, whether before or after preparing financial statements.
This document discusses the trail balance in accounting. It defines a trail balance as a statement that shows the closing balances of all ledger accounts at a point in time, including the names and values of each account in the balance sheet and nominal sections. It notes that the debit and credit sides of a trail balance must be equal. The document provides steps for preparing a trail balance and discusses the balance sheet and nominal sections. It also covers types of accounting errors and how to rectify them.
This document provides tips for detecting and correcting various types of accounting errors. It begins by defining the common types of errors such as transposition errors, errors of principle, errors of omission, and errors of commission. It then provides techniques for finding errors such as proving account balances, using comparative reports, and applying tests of reasonableness. Specific tips are given for correcting errors like writing journal entries and using suspense accounts. The document concludes with guidance on finding and fixing errors in bank reconciliations.
1) A bank reconciliation statement reconciles the difference between the bank balance in a company's cash book and the bank balance in its bank statement.
2) Differences can arise due to timing delays in transactions being recorded or errors made by the business or bank. Timing differences include cheques that have not cleared and deposits not yet processed.
3) The bank reconciliation statement lists transactions that increase or decrease the cash book balance to reconcile it with the bank statement balance. Preparing this statement verifies the accuracy of both records.
Errors can occur in trial balances that do not result in the debit and credit columns not agreeing.
Some errors revealed by a non-agreeing trial balance include omitting to post an amount, posting an incorrect amount, or posting to the wrong account side.
However, some errors are not revealed by the trial balance such as errors of omission where a transaction is not recorded at all, errors of commission where wrong amounts are posted on both sides, or compensating errors where one error offsets another.
The document discusses the meaning and process of preparing a trial balance in accounting. It explains that a trial balance is a statement that shows the debit and credit balances of all ledger accounts to verify the accuracy of posting amounts. The key objectives of a trial balance are to check the arithmetic accuracy of ledger accounts, help locate errors, and aid in preparing financial statements by listing account balances. A properly prepared trial balance has equal totals for debit and credit columns, but errors may still exist that do not affect the equality of amounts.

Double entry bookkeeping is a method of recording accounting transactions where every transaction has two equal and opposite accounting entries. The key principle is that for every debit, there must be an equal and opposite credit. Luca Pacioli introduced this system in 1494. It provides more accurate, complete recording of transactions compared to conventional single-entry bookkeeping systems. Accounts are classified as personal, real, or nominal depending on what type of asset, person, or expense/income they represent. Debits and credits follow set rules according to these account types.
This document provides an overview of basic accounting terminologies, principles, concepts, and conventions. It defines key terms like assets, liabilities, equity, revenue, expenses, cash vs credit transactions.

"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.
Fabular Frames and the Four Ratio ProblemMajid Iqbal
Digital, interactive art showing the struggle of a society in providing for its present population while also saving planetary resources for future generations. Spread across several frames, the art is actually the rendering of real and speculative data. The stereographic projections change shape in response to prompts and provocations. Visitors interact with the model through speculative statements about how to increase savings across communities, regions, ecosystems and environments. Their fabulations combined with random noise, i.e. factors beyond control, have a dramatic effect on the societal transition. Things get better. Things get worse. The aim is to give visitors a new grasp and feel of the ongoing struggles in democracies around the world.
Stunning art in the small multiples format brings out the spatiotemporal nature of societal transitions, against backdrop issues such as energy, housing, waste, farmland and forest. In each frame we see hopeful and frightful interplays between spending and saving. Problems emerge when one of the two parts of the existential anaglyph rapidly shrinks like Arctic ice, as factors cross thresholds. Ecological wealth and intergenerational equity areFour at stake. Not enough spending could mean economic stress, social unrest and political conflict. Not enough saving and there will be climate breakdown and ‘bankruptcy’. So where does speculative design start and the gambling and betting end? Behind each fabular frame is a four ratio problem. Each ratio reflects the level of sacrifice and self-restraint a society is willing to accept, against promises of prosperity and freedom. Some values seem to stabilise a frame while others cause collapse. Get the ratios right and we can have it all. Get them wrong and things get more desperate.

Vicinity Jobs’ data includes more than three million 2023 OJPs and thousands of skills. Most skills appear in less than 0.02% of job postings, so most postings rely on a small subset of commonly used terms, like teamwork.
Laura Adkins-Hackett, Economist, LMIC, and Sukriti Trehan, Data Scientist, LMIC, presented their research exploring trends in the skills listed in OJPs to develop a deeper understanding of in-demand skills. This research project uses pointwise mutual information and other methods to extract more information about common skills from the relationships between skills, occupations and regions.

2. Learning Objectives:
•After learning this Chapter, you will be able to:
•Meaning and reasons for Errors
•Identify the Kinds of Errors.
•Understand the Procedure for Rectification of Errors.
3. Errors in Accounting:
• The fundamental principle of the double-entry system is that
every debit has a corresponding credit of equal amount and vice-
versa.
• Therefore, the total of all debit balances in different accounts
must be equal to the total of all credit balances in different
accounts
• An accounting error is a non-fraudulent discrepancy in financial
documentation.
4. Kinds of Errors:
Errors of Principles
• Partial omission
• Complete omission
Errors of Omission
• Error of recording
• Error of posting
• Error of casting
• Error of carrying forward
Errors of
Commission
Compensating
Errors
5. I. Errors of Principles: If any of these principles is
violated or ignored, errors resulting from such violation are
known as errors of principle.
II. Clerical Errors: These errors arise because of
mistakes committed in the ordinary course of accounting
work.These can be further classified into three types as
follows.
a) Errors of Omission: This error arises when a transaction
is completely or partially omitted to be recorded in the books
of accounts. Errors of omission may be classified as below.
6. i. Error of Complete Omission:This error arises when a
transaction is totally omitted to be recorded in the
books of accounts.
For example, Goods purchased from Ram completely
omitted to be recorded.This error does not affect the
trial balance.
ii. Error of Partial Omission:This error arises when
only one aspect of the transaction either debit or
credit is recorded.
For example, a credit sale of goods to Siva recorded in
sales book but omitted to be posted in Siva’s account.
This error affects the trial balance.
7. b) Errors of Commission: This error arises due to wrong recording, wrong
posting, wrong casting, wrong balancing, wrong carrying forward
etc. Errors of commission may be classified as follows:
i. Error of Recording:This error arises when a transaction is
wrongly recorded in the books of original entry. For example,
Goods of Rs.5,000, purchased on credit fromViji, is recorded in
the book for Rs.5,500.This error does not affect the trial
balance.
ii. Error of Posting:This error arises when information recorded in
the books of original entry are wrongly entered in the ledger.
Error of posting may be
• Right amount in the right side of wrong account.
• Right amount in the wrong side of correct account
• Wrong amount in the right side of correct account
• Wrong amount in the wrong side of correct account
• Wrong amount in the wrong side of wrong account
• Wrong amount in the right side of wrong account, etc.
8. iii. Error of Casting (Totalling) :This error arises when a
mistake is committed while totalling the subsidiary book.
• For example, instead of Rs.12,000 it may be wrongly totalled as Rs.13,000.This
is called overcasting. If it is wrongly totalled as Rs.11,000, it is called
undercasting.
iv. Error of Carrying Forward :This error arises when a
• mistake is committed in carrying forward a total of one page to the next page.
• For example,Total of purchase book in page 282 of the ledger Rs.10,686, while
carrying forward the balance to the next page it was recorded as Rs.10,866.
9. c) Compensating Errors: The errors arising from excess
debits or under debits of accounts being neutralized by
the excess credits or under credits to the same extent of
some other account is compensating error.
• Since the errors in one direction are compensated by errors in
another direction, arithmetical accuracy of the trial balance is not
at all affected inspite of such errors.
• For example, If the purchases book and sales book are both
overcast (excess totalling) by Rs.10,000, the errors mutually
compensate each other.This error will not affect the agreement
of trial balance.
10. Errors disclosed and not disclosed by
trial balance:
Errors disclosed by trial balance:
1) Errors of partial omission
2) Errors of casting
3) Errors of carrying forward
4) Errors of posting in the wrong side of the correct account
5) Errors of posting to correct with wrong amount
6) Double posting in the same account
11. Errors not disclosed by trial balance
1) Errors of complete omission
2) Errors of recording
3) Errors of principle
4) Errors of posting to wrong account in the right side with the
correct amount
5) Compensating Errors
12. Suspense Account
• When it is difficult to locate the mistakes before preparing the
final accounts, the difference in the trial balance is transferred to
newly opened imaginary and temporary account called
‘Suspense Account’.
• Suspense account is prepared to avoid the delay in the
preparation of final accounts
• If the total debit balances of the trial balance exceeds the total
credit balances, the difference is transferred to the credit side of
the suspense account.
• if the total credit balances of the trial balance exceeds the total
debit balances the difference is transferred to the debit side of
the suspense account.
