Remaining balance on suspense account (video below)
David has extracted a trial balance and created a suspense account with a credit balance of $1,520 to make it balance.
David found the following:
- A sales invoice for $9,140 has not been entered in the accounting records.
- A payment of $3,024 has been posted correctly to the payables control account but no other entry has been made.
