Routine & Test Checking

Routine checking involves verifying all daily transactions by checking records in primary books, costs, transfers between accounts, and debit/credit balances. It helps ensure arithmetic accuracy, detect simple errors and minor fraud early. While it is a simple task suited for ordinary accounting knowledge, it can become monotonous. Test checking examines a sample of similar items to save time and costs, but risks missing errors or fraud if the tested transactions are clean.
