1.1 Corrected Debtors Control Account
Here is the corrected Debtors Control Account for August 2023, incorporating all identified errors and omissions.
Explanation of corrections:
- Sales (C. Black) R400: An invoice not entered in any journal or ledger account increases debtors.
- Sales (DJ undercast) R500: The sales column in the Debtors Journal was undercast, meaning Debtors Control was debited R500 too little.
- 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.
