Question

five examples of one sided errors

Answer 1

Rectification of mirrors

Answer 2

One-sided errors are the errors which modify the arrangement of the trial balance. These errors influence only one account and just one side i.e. debit or the credit side of the account. Errors of partial omission, recording transactions with wrong casting and wrong posting are examples of one-sided errors. For example, goods worth of Rs.2,000 bought for cash accurately inserted in the cash book, but while posting to acquire the book, it is recorded as Rs.20,000. Thus, the transaction has been written incorrectly in the purchase book.
