Question
What is meant by error of omission? Give any one example.

Answer

Errors of Omission: If a transaction remains altogether unrecorded either in the Journal or in Subsidiary Books, it will be termed as an error of omission. Such an error will not affect the agreement of a Trial Balance, as neither the transaction has been entered on the debit side of an account nor on the credit side of any other account. For example, suppose goods for ₹ 2,000 have been sold to Ram on credit and the transaction was omitted to be recorded in the books. The omission will not affect the Trial Balance in any way, because neither has it been recorded on the debit side of Ram's account nor on the credit side of sales account.
