Part 5
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.
