Solution

The correct option is C

Identifying


The accountant of the company did not identify the transaction correctly and did not notice that at the back of the slip, there was a note by the store manager about the goods sent back which were found to be obsolete. He should have verified the same with the records in the register at the gate, when the goods were brought to the store.
