D. Company is a manufacturing company. The company’s assistant chief accountant is EK. The total sales of the company are recorded as $20 million at the end of the first quarter. EK prepares the trial balance for the further preparation of financial statements to be submitted to regulatory agencies. On the trial balance, there was a mismatch, with the credits exceeding the debits by $1,000. So, EK adjusted the difference by adding the same to the equipment account, considering it has huge account balances and it would not affect any important decisions. EK wanted to find the error but EK did not have time and EK was already late in preparing the trial balance. Adequate information: On the trial balance the total credits exceeded the total debits by $1,000. EK, the assistant chief accountant adjusts the difference by adding the same to the Equipment account. EK considers that the equipment account has huge account balances, so it would not be detected. Moreover, this would not affect anyone’s decision. To determine: The stakeholders in the given case.
