Momina-Z said:I still disagree.cz if u make a trialbalance n lets say purchases and sales r undercasted by 100..the difference between them will increase or decrease n the trial balance wont balance nemo.purchases r X-100 and sales Y-100 even in maths we cant cancel them cz they r different variables.
as for the other one..well yeah i didnt read it that carefully.
COMPENSATING ERROR IS WHEN BOTH COMPLETLY OPPOSITE VARIABLES LIKE EXPENSE AND INCOME, SALES AND PURCHASE , ASSET OR LIABILITY are OVERCAST or UNDERCAST by SAME amount at the SAME TIME
