3. Zero-balance checks to verify that total debits equal total credits in a journal entry.
4. A completeness test to ensure that all pertinent data are entered, especially the source of the journal entry.
5. Closed-loop verification matching account numbers with account descriptions,to ensure that the correct general ledger account is being accessed.
6.creating a standard adjusting entry file for recurring adjusting entries made each period, such as depreciation expense.(Input accuracy is improved by eliminating the need to repeatedly key in these entries. The possibility of forgetting to make a recurring adjusting entry is also reduced, thereby ensuring input completeness.)
7. A sign check of the general ledger account balance, once updating is completed, to verify that the balance is of the appropriate nature(debit or credit)
8. Calculating run-to-run totals to verify the accuracy of journal voucher batch processing. (The computer calculates the new balance of the general ledger account, based on its beginning balance and the total debits and credits applied to that account, then compares that with the actual account balance in the updated general ledger. Any discrepancies indicate a processing error that must be investigated.)
