You know that by preparing the closing entries tomorrow, the miscellaneous expense will be set to zero for the beginning of the year.

Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words:

  • Should you write this check today and record the expense or write the check tomorrow?
  • How would the company be affected if the check is written and the invoice ends up being erroneous?
