 Rectification Of One-sided Errors Located Before Preparation Of Trial Balance
One-sided errors are those errors which affect only one side of an account. Wrong totaling of subsidiary books, posting a wrong amount, posting on the wrong side are some of the examples of one-sided errors. Since two accounts are not involved in these errors, journal entry can not be passed for rectifying such errors. The one-sided error is rectified by making an additional posting on the affected side of the ledger account.

* Rectification Of Two-sided Errors Located Before Preparation Of Trial Balance
The errors that affect two or more accounts are called two-sided errors. Correction of such two-sided errors needs to make rectification journal entries since such errors involve two or more accounts. Therefore, one account is debited and another account is credited to rectify two-sided errors. The rules of debit and credit are applied to rectify these errors.

a. Identify correct entry
b. Rewrite wrong entry
c. Find rectifying entry by making adjustment of correct entry and wrong entry
