page 77 1 4 5 2 3 6 7 8 9
LESSON 3-4

41. Standard Accounting Practices
If an error is recorded, cancel the error by neatly drawing a line through the incorrect item. Write the correct item immediately above the canceled item.
If an entire entry is incorrect, draw neat lines through all parts of the incorrect entry. Journalize the entry correctly on the next blank line.
If several incorrect entries are recorded after an incorrect entry is made, draw neat lines through all incorrect parts of the entry. Record the correct items on the same lines as the incorrect items, directly above the canceled parts.
Account titles should typically be written in full, but if there is not enough space, accounts may be abbreviated. (PPI, A/R, A/P)
LESSON 3-1

42. Standard Accounting Practices
5. Dollars and cents signs are not used when writing amounts on ruled accounting paper.
6. Two zeros are written in the cents column when an amount is in even dollars, when using ruled accounting paper.
7. A single line is ruled across amount columns to indicate a calculation such as addition.
8. A double line is ruled across amount columns to indicate that the amounts are totals. In a journal, the double line shows that the debit side equals the credit side.
9. Neatness is very important in accounting records so that there is never any doubt about what information has been recorded.
