Column incorrectly added
Amount incorrectly entered on TB
Posted a wrong amount
Debit posted as credit, or vice versa
Debit or credit omitted
30

balanced:
◦ Not journalising a transaction or posting a
transaction
◦ Recording the same wrong amount for both debit

◦ Recording the same transaction more than once
◦ Posting a part of a transaction correctly as a debit
or credit but to the wrong account
E.g.?
