So pretend that you just started this job as a bookkeeper and want to give the impression that you know what you're doing.....but, to your horror, the debits and credits on the adjusted trial balance are not adding up.

Do you tell your boss or try to "fix it" on your own by changing a couple of numbers so it adds up, or do you just say nothing in hopes that next month will be better!

With these cases, I really want you to put yourself in these situations, maybe thinking about bosses you have worked with, and how you would deal with the situation. These are situations you are extremely likely to run into and the whole point of these cases is to prepare you to deal with them.
