Solution
The correct option is A Mistake in Cash book When there is a difference between bank column of cash book and pass book, there is confusion that which balance should be taken to "Balance Sheet" as "Bank Balance" while preparing financial statements.
Since there is a difference between bank column of cash book and pass book, taking either of the two balances will not relevant a true picture of the "Bank Balance".
Therefore, at the end of the financial year, cash book must be adjusted for all the errors/omissions etc. It is called as "Adjusted Cash Book". All errors made in the cash book are to be taken into consideration for preparing adjusted cash book.
