Answer to Question 1

If the balance of the general ledger Accounts Receivable controlling account matches the balance of the schedule of accounts receivable, it only means that the two are equal. Several errors could have occurred. Amounts could have been posted to the incorrect accounts, thus causing an error in the customer account that received the incorrect charge or credit for payment and an error in the account that should have received the charge or credit for paymenttwo problems from one error. Arithmetic errors and transpositions and slides that carry through to the controlling account, as well as to the subsidiary ledger, can occur. A check or a sales invoice may simply fail to be recorded, causing an error to the customer account balance, even though everything appears to be in balance.
