Transposition Error - Company has understated its Cash Balance by recording 17,300 instead of 1,700. So, add the error to the Account.

NSF - Company has recorded a collection of receivable. But the bank termed the Check as "NSF" because of insufficient funds. So, deduct it from the Cash balance.

Deposit in-Transit and Outstanding Checks are already recorded in the Company's books of accounts. These transactions should be adjusted in the Bank Account.
