    In an accounting system where individual receivables and payables ledger accounts are maintained as an integral part of the double entry system, which of the following errors will not be identified by a trial balance?

    A overcasting of the sales day book
    B undercasting of the analysed cash book
    C failure to transfer a non-current asset to the disposal account when sold
    D transposition error in an individual receivables account

    Source: Kaplan Study Book

    The answer: C

    However, IMO it is A because once there is no control account, in the case of over/undercasting in sales day book you cannot detect discrepancy between total of individual accounst and control account which is transferred from sales day book.

    A and C are both correct.

    A is correct for the reason you have written (that there is no control account).
    C is correct because failing to make a double entry will not stop the TB from balancing.
