you to assist him.

no. 512, issued to Western Plumbers for repairs to the geyser, is stale and should be cancelled.
3. The cash book showed a credit balance of R65 880 on 30 September 2015 before any of the
following have been taken into account:
3.2 Cheque no. 1020 for R5 400 appeared on the bank statement but not in the cashbook. On
investigation by the bank, it was found that this cheque was issued by Taljaard Attorneys and
not TB Bones.

September cashbook as R1 530. This cheque appears on the bank statement as R1 350. On
