I AM VERY CONFUSING THE CORRECTION
SUSPENSE ACCOUNTS AND CORRECTION OF ERRORS
Type of errors Nature of errors Correction
Errors of omission A transaction is completely omitted or left out. No entry been made Apply fresh double entry
Errors of commission /Misposting When an entry is made in a wrong personal or nominal account. Close the wrong account and enter in the correct one
Errors of principle When an entry is made in the wrong class of account. Close the wrong account and enter in the correct one
Compensating errors When two errors of opposite sides cancel out each other. Increase account understated and decrease account overstated
Reversal of entries When both entries for a transaction are done opposite manner. Double amount and apply fresh double entry
An error of original entry When entries are posted for the books with a wrong figure. Add back to both accounts for undercast and subtract for overcast
Transposition errors Entering a transaction with a wrong figure on both accounts Add back to both accounts for undercast and subtract for overcast

ERRORS DISCLOSED BY THE TRIAL BALANCE AND REQUIRING USE OF SUSPENSE ACCOUNT:
Type of errors Nature Correction
Incorrect addition Making entries with wrong totals- undercast and overcast. Add back for undercast
Less for overcast via suspense
Omission in one account Making only one entry for a transaction. Enter in the account omitted via suspense
Reversal in one account Posting an entry into the wrong side of the account. Double amount enter in the correct side of the account via suspense
Transposition Using two different figures to make an entry. E.g. 75 and 57. Add back for undercast
Less for overcast via suspense
Misposting Cancel it from the wrong account via suspense
