The ruling method can be used if an error is discovered before or after an entry was posted. A line is drawn through the incorrect account title or amount and the correct account title or amount written immediately above. The person making the correction also includes his or her initials with the correction.

If the error consists of the wrong account(s), an entry is made to cancel out or reverse the incorrect account(s) and insert the correct account(s). The correcting entry must include an explanation.
