Former userFormer user14y ago
Would you like to describe with an example what is run to run control at the transaction processing level in a computerized accounting system. Thanks.

Run-to-run controls are to the integrity of cumulative totals contained in the accounting records is maintained from one data processing run to the next. So, if you have a balance b/f of 10,000 cash and are processing receipts worth 2,000, the balance c/f should be 12,000.

It's really just reconciling balances to total movements.
