Debtors Allowances (DAJ) R760: The total for Debtors Allowances was not posted to the General Ledger, meaning Debtors Control was not credited for this amount. 1.2 Corrected Debtors List and Total Here is the corrected Debtors List on 31 August 2023, with the updated balances for each debtor and the new total. G. Smith: Original balance: R4 146 Add: Undercast amount: R1 000 Corrected balance: R4 146 + R1 000 = R5 146 A.
