of GHS487,600. The list of receivables ledger balances at the same date totalled GHS455,800

On investigation the following errors and revisions were found:

(1) The sales day book had been overcast by GHS2,000

(2) A debt of GHS8,400 is to be written off

(3) A credit note for GHS1,200 was entered on the debit side of the customer's account.

(4) Contras against amounts owing to Jefferson in the payables ledger totalling GHS16,100 were

entered on the debit side of the receivables ledger control account.

(5) A credit note for GHS5,600 sent to a customer and recorded at that figure should have been

for GHS4,500.

(6) Cash discount allowed and agreed at GHS150 has not been recorded in the accounting

system.

account balance.
