Document an account error
See this course’s project requirements
A fictional personal-account register reconciled to a statement, with pending items, availability, fees and an error-report draft.
Keep your working files in your own notebook or software. Save a private description, checklist, and work link in My Proof.
What to include
- An account-service and annual-fee comparison with unanswered eligibility questions.
- A posted/available/uncommitted balance worksheet with each commitment counted once.
- A running-balance register with transaction identities, types and posting states.
- A two-sided bank reconciliation with an unmatched-item log.
- A transaction-specific error inquiry and follow-up log.
- A paper account-move checklist with a retained-funds calculation and closure conditions.
Review and revise
Use these criteria to check your work and choose what to improve.
- All supplied records reconcile and the decision uses the named case rules.
- Calculations show units, intermediate values and a second check.
- Changed-input practice revises the affected result and identifies uncertainty.
- The final project combines six lesson records, separates fictional assumptions from current rules, and states a supported next step.

The idea in everyday life
This is an original fictional practice case. No account, payment, personal record or outside participation is required. Receipt says $28; bank debit says $38 on October 6, ID TX17. Mina has not authorized any second charge.
An error inquiry needs a specific transaction and preserved facts; a report is not proof of reimbursement.

An error inquiry needs a specific transaction and preserved facts; a report is not proof of reimbursement.
Use paper or a local table; label all amounts as fictional USD unless the case names another unit. Receipt says $28; bank debit says $38 on October 6, ID TX17. Mina has not authorized any second charge.

1. Step 1: Identify the exact disputed event
Identify the exact disputed event.
You should see: October 6, TX17, posted debit $38.
An error inquiry needs a specific transaction and preserved facts; a report is not proof of reimbursement.
2. Step 2: Compare the receipt with the posted amount
Compare the receipt with the posted amount.
You should see: Difference is $10.
Keep this intermediate result so the final decision can be checked.
3. Step 3: Draft a factual request through an independently verified bank channel
Draft a factual request through an independently verified bank channel.
You should see: Request investigation of TX17 and retain the $28 receipt; do not claim a guaranteed refund.
Keep this intermediate result so the final decision can be checked.
4. Step 4: Create a follow-up record
Create a follow-up record.
You should see: Keep report date, confirmation and next contact; consult current applicable error deadlines promptly.
Keep this intermediate result so the final decision can be checked.
What to finish
A transaction-specific error inquiry and follow-up log.
Watch for this
Describing the whole account as wrong instead of naming the exact transaction discrepancy.
How can I tell I understand it?
Compare a receipt with a posted debit and draft a factual account-error inquiry on a new supplied case, with a visible intermediate check and no unsupported real-world promise.
