Complete question:

Assume the following general flow of documents in an accounting system. Reply to the following question:

"Source Documents --> Journals --> Ledgers"

The auditors are concerned about source documents that reflect valid transactions that have not been recorded in the journals. Which procedure would be most effective?

(1) Trace from source documents to journals.

(2) Vouch from journals to source documents.

Either (1) or (2).

Answer:

(1) Trace from source documents to journals.

Explanation:

Tracing is the method of tracking the transaction back to the source document in accounting records. Transaction failures are monitored and auditors are often used to ensure whether transactions have been properly reported.

Tracing relates to the compilation and the follow-up to the record of an financial transaction (the source document).

Tracing checks to see that the transactions that happened in the financial reports are registered. Therefore it would be most effective to translate "Trace documents from source into journals."

Interest earned                                      28

Credit:

Collection fee                                       -45

Rent Expense (understated)             -300

Adjusted cash account balance $112,933

b) The bank reconciliation statement above was prepared after adjusting the cash account with items that were recorded by the bank but not recorded by Cole Co. and other misstatements.  With the adjusted cash account balance, the bank reconciliation was then carried out with the items that were not recorded by the bank.  The resulting figure should agree with the bank statement balance.
