Explanation

Error of commission: a mistake that consists of doing something wrong, such as including a wrong amount, or including an amount in the wrong place. For example; If we debit or credit an account, other than the correct account, but with the correct amount, the total debits and credits in the ledger will remain equal and hence the trial balance will not disclose the error.
