7.1- Upon discovery that the hand-recorded books of account contain mistakes
in the process of recording books of account, an enterprise shall not be permitted to erase
such mistakes which cause a loss of falsely-recorded information or data, but shall make an
amendment based on one of the following methods:
(2)- Method of recording negative number (also called method of recording in red ink):
This method is used to amend mistakes by: recording in red ink or recording in
parentheses the falsely-made entries to cancel such entries. Recording properly-made
entries in ordinary ink to substitute for the falsely-made entries.
This method shall be applied in the following cases:
- Mistakes as to corresponding relation between accounts, resulted from falsely-made
entries which cannot be rectified by the method of rectification
- Discovery of mistakes after financial statements have been submitted to the competent
body.
In this case, amendment shall be made in the accounting book in the year in which
mistakes are discovered, based on the non-retroactive or retroactive method in accordance
with the regulations of the Accounting Standrad No.29 “Change in accounting policy,
accounting esttimates and mistakes”;
- Mistakes by which an entry is made in an account where the sum has been recorded
many times, or where the falesely-recorded number is larger than the properly-recorded
number.
52
When applying the method of recording negative numbers to rectify the mistake, an
enterprise must prepare a “rectification document” signed and certified by the chief accountant
(or by the person in charge of accounting).
(1)- Where mistakes are discovered before the annual financial statements are
submitted to the competent State body, the accountant must make a direct amendment on
computer accounting books of that year;
(2)- Where mistakes are discovered after the annual finacial statements are submitted
to the competent State body, the acountant must make a direct amendment on the computer
accounting book of the year in which mistakes are discovered, making a note on the last line

additional entry” .
7.3- When the annual finalisation report is approved or when the inspection,
examination or audit is closed and official conclusions are made, if there is a decision by
which the finacial statements’ data related to those recorded on accounting books must be
amended, the accounting unit has to amend the accounting books and the balance of
relevant accounts based on the regulated method. The amendment shall be directly made on
accounting books of the year in which mistakes are discovered, and the accountant must
make a note on the last page (last line) of such accounting books in order to make it easy for
collation and examination.

misstatements in previous years, an accounting unit must make a retroactive amendment in
accordance with the regulations of the Accounting Standard No.29 “Changes in the
accounting policy, accounting estimates and mistakes”, the accountant must amend the
opening balance in relevant accounts on the general accounting books and detailed
accounting books.
