    For the following errors:
    1) the closing balance of the purchase ledger control account at the current year end has been undercast by $160

    My confusion is : this Purchase ledger control a/c means Account Payables Control A/c or is it Purchase ledger A/c?? Which entry should I pass
    A) Dr….Suspense or B) Dr…..Purchase Ledger
    Cr….AP Cr…..Suspense

    The purchase ledger control account is another name for the payables control account (i.e. total payables) as I explain in my free lectures on books of prime entry.

    The balance is a credit balance and therefore if it has been undercast we need to increase it. So Cr the control account and Dr the suspense account.
