Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Footing and crossfooting involves adding up the individual amounts in each column and then checking that the total of each column is equal. This ensures accuracy in the journal and helps to prevent errors. Posting to the subsidiary, debiting and crediting, and updating the master file are all related to other accounting processes and do not directly involve checking the equality of column totals.
