If you are correcting figures one way, you have to correct them both ways. That is how financial auditors always work.
I'm really sorry, please forgive my ignorance, but I don't know what you mean.
I am a financial accountant in a fairly large company. When external auditors look at the figures, they add up everything that they find. It doesn't matter if the error is increasing or decreasing the profit-figure, they calculate the total of the errors.
Ah, okay, that makes sense I guess. Seems weird from a lay point of view, but if that's the industry standard.
Thanks for explaining.
