Sir
Any error of addition in cash book will cause trial balance to balacne or not?Any undercasting/overcasting total error in sales day book/purchase day book will cause trial balance to balance or not?
Adding the cash book wrongly will stop the trial balance balancing (because the closing balance in the cash book will be wrong).
Adding the day books wrongly will not stop the trial balance balancing because they are not part of the double entry and the same wrong total will have been entered in both ledge accounts.
Have you watched my free lectures on books of prime entry?
Yes sir i have watched them.
Sir it means if we do wrong total in cash book …trial balance will not balance
But if we do a transposition error in cash book then the same will be posted to general ledger and hence trial balance will balance…right?If the total is wrong then the TB will not balance.
If there is a transposition error in one of the entries in the cash book, then two figures will be wrong and the TB will still balance.
