Accounting Error is an unintentional or intentional misstatement of an accounting entry or omission of an accounting entry that results in incorrect financial statements. Accounting Errors can be classified into two categories, errors of omission and errors of commission. Errors of omission occur when an accounting entry is not recorded at all, while errors of commission occur when an incorrect amount is recorded in an accounting entry. Examples of accounting errors include incorrectly recording transactions, using the wrong account, or entering the wrong amount. Accounting errors can have a significant impact on the financial position of a business and must be corrected as soon as possible.
