I did an audit on my investment portfolio because of a discrepancy. There seemed to be an extra $2,200 which was deposited into my savings account. OK, I guess when there is more money, it is a "good" discrepancy to have but I don't like not knowing where the money is from.
As I am very much a pen and paper person and all my trading and income records are hand-written, it took me a while to flip through them as I checked line by line. Strangely, everything seemed correct.
Then, I dug out the Tax Invoices sent to me by my broker and checked them against my records. After going back some 12 months, I found the problem.
I am happy to say that the money, all $2,200 of it, is legitimately mine. Whew!
So, what was the matter? ......
