Can you explain the difference between adjusting entries and entries that would be made to correct errors?
Adjusting entries are journal entries that are made to adjust the balances of certain accounts, usually at the end of a period. An example of an adjusting entry is accumulating depreciation on equipment. Another example would be reducing the balance of Office Suplies Inventory to its end of period amount.
An error correction entry is just as it sounds. It's an entry to correct an error.
Anyway, they are all the same because after preparing Trial Balance we have to find error, we have to change by posting new entries to adjust the balances. those errors or mistakes can be because of the failure to record the transaction or there's no transaction but some accounts need to be realized.
