When using the method of negative figure inscription to correct errors, a "corrected book entry voucher" must be made and signed for certification by the chief accountant.

(c)the method of additional inscription:

This method shall apply to cases where the entries are inscribed correctly for the reciprocal relations between accounts but the inscribed money amounts are smaller than the money amounts on the vouchers or the money amounts inscribed on vouchers are omitted and not fully added up. In case of correction by this method, the "corrected book entry voucher" must also be made to additionally record in normal ink the difference amount..

Correction of book entries which are computerized

- If errors are detected before annual financial statements are submitted to competent State agencies, the correction can be made directly in accounting books of such year on the computers;

- If errors are detected after annual financial statements are submitted to competent State agencies, the correction can be made directly in accounting books of the year in which errors are detected on the computers and noted in the last line of the accounting books of year in which errors are made;

- Cases of correction of book entries which are computerized are made according to the “method of negative figure inscription” or “ method of additional inscription ".

When the annual settlement report is approved or when the inspection and auditing have been completed and an official conclusion is given, if there is a decision to correct the figures in the financial statements relating to figures that were recorded in accounting books, the unit must correct the accounting books and the balance of the relevant accounts under the prescribed method. The correction is made directly in the accounting books of the year in which errors are detected , and taken notes on the last page (last line) of the accounting books of the year prior to the year of error (if errors are detected after the annual financial statements are submitted to the competent State agencies) for convenient comparison and inspection.
