Discuss two IT controls or edits that can be programmed into a system to minimize the risk from data input errors

1 . Checks for missing data, numeric-alphabetic data, and valid data values, reduce the risk of undetected data entry errors in accounts receivable, inventory control, billing, and cash receipts.
2 . Check digit edits provide control over accessing the wrong accounts when posting customer sales and cash receipts transactions. Long customer account numbers are susceptible to transcription and transposition errors during data entry. Check digit controls reduce the risk of such errors.
