1. Subsidiary Entries
Subsidiary entries are transactions that aren’t recorded correctly. This mistake is only normally discovered during a bank reconciliation, according to The Balance.
For example, an invoice is entered in accounts receivable as $10,000 instead of the $1000 actually owing.
How to find it: The trial balance won’t show this error. You’ll need to do a bank reconciliation i.e. check the numbers in your books against the numbers on your bank statement. It’s important to do this frequently. If you only do it every six months, for example, you’ll have to sift through six months of records to find the mistake.
2. Error of Omission
An error of omission happens when you forget to enter a transaction in the books. You may forget to enter an invoice you’ve paid or the sale of a service.
For example, a copywriter buys a new business laptop but forgets to enter the purchase in the books.
How to find it: Errors of omission are hard to discover. One way to find them is to check if your credits equal your debits in your trial balance. You may have entered a credit for a transaction but no debit. Doing regular bank reconciliations will also help you double check your books for accuracy.
It’s better to act preventatively and have a system in place to enter each transaction. Errors of omission tend to crop up when a company uses petty cash to pay for expenses. Keep your receipts and paperwork and set up a regular time each week to enter the data.
