Rule of 9--Thanks Dad

As a senior in high school I took a bookkeeping class. When we were learning about balancing checkbooks my father taught me the rule of 9 trick--if the difference is divisible by 9 there is almost certainly a transposition error.

Today as I tied out one of the cash files with the bank report there was a $270.00 difference. Thanks to Dad I looked for the transposition error, found it fairly quickly and made the correction.

Thanks Dad, you saved me a lot of time and work today and probably Tuesday as well!!!
