NOTES:

1. Insurance expense:

In December 2022, the fixed monthly insurance debit order was not processed due to an oversight by the insurance company. This was rectified by SS's managing director, Sam, who informed the insurance company. On 2 January 2023, the insurance debit order was processed twice, resulting in a total deduction of R55 000 from SS's bank account. The trial balance needs to be adjusted to account for this transaction.

2. Inventory:

SS's conducted an inventory count on 31 December 2022 and determined that the closing inventory on hand was valued at R160 000. No inventory was reported as damaged or stolen during the count. The trial balance has not been updated with this information.

3. Investment / Interest income:

SS's investment earns interest every third month. The interest earned for the last quarter of 2022 amounted to R2 250 and was only received on 10 January 2023. The accountant still needs to process this transaction.
