Analysis component
To find the error(s), first re-add the account balances on the schedule of accounts receivable to confirm that the
addition is correct. Then, trace the balances listed on the schedule of accounts receivable back to the subsidiary
accounts to confirm that they are listed correctly on the schedule. Next, recalculate the balance of each subsidiary
account to confirm that the additions and subtractions are correct. Next, trace the postings from each subsidiary
account and from the controlling account back to the appropriate journals. Since the sales and cash receipts journals
were footed and crossfooted before posting, the previous steps should disclose the error.
