The accountant has discovered the following adjustments that still need to be processed:
1.
The total of the Debtors Control column in the Debtors Journal (R345000) has been totalled incorrectly and understated by R 2000.
2.
A deposit of R2390 was received from Dawson CC but was recorded in the Cash book receipts as being received from Rawson Stores. It was subsequently then posted to Rawson Stores account in the Debtors Ledger and has been aged as a payment of a current invoice.
3.
Rivers Wholesalers returned goods during the month and was issued Credit Note CN3256 to the value of R644. The credit note was captured in error in the Debtors Journal and posted as a duplicate credit invoice.
4.
The accountant queried the 60 days balance outstanding in Atlas Groups account. She discovered that this related to a query from Atlas Group where they disputed receiving the goods. She investigated further and discovered that the goods were for the account of Benji Traders and that the invoice had been posted to the incorrect account in the Debtors Ledger.
5.
Riley Traders also makes credit purchases from Ferndale Traders. The balance of Ferndale Traders account in the Creditors Ledger at 30 June 2024 was R8500. Ferndale Traders has agreed that the balances in the Creditors and Debtors ledger can be set off. This entry must still be recorded.
6.
Riley Traders was informed at the end of June 2024 that Magnolia Traders has gone into liquidation and only 20 cents in the rand of the debt outstanding will be recoverable once the liquidation is finalised. The accountant has decided to therefore write off the irrecoverable portion at 30 June 2024. This entry must still be processed.
7.
The total of the Debtors Control column of R15295(before adjustments) in the Debtors Allowance Journal was posted to the incorrect side of the Debtors Control.
8.
A deposit of R8395 relating to a cash sale was recorded in error in the Debtors Control column instead of the Sales column in the Cash book Receipts. VAT for the transaction was recorded correctly.
