Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A zero balance check is a control procedure used for payroll clearing accounts, which ensures that the sum of all payroll transactions equal zero after the disbursements are made. This helps to eliminate errors and potential fraud in payroll processing. Therefore, the correct choice is C - a payroll clearing account. The other options, such as batch totals, cross-footing the payroll register, and online edit control, relate to other control procedures used in payroll processing but do not specifically address the zero balance check.
