tap to reveal answer
Answer
1. List all individual customer balances in the sales ledger and total them
2. Compare to the closing balance of the SLCA
3. If they differ, there is an error in either the control account (incorrect day book total posted) or in one or more individual customer accounts (posting error), or both
4. Investigate and correct the discrepancy
