Errors and Omissions

Errors and omissions refer to unintentional mistakes or oversights in accounting records, such as misclassifications, arithmetic errors, or missing transactions. These inaccuracies can distort financial statements, requiring correction through adjusting entries or restatements. Identifying and rectifying them maintains integrity in reporting and compliance with auditing and regulatory standards.
