    The process of continuing an account or journal on a new page by carrying forward all the relevant information from the completed page.

    Explanation
    The term "forwarding" refers to the process of continuing an account or journal on a new page by carrying forward all the relevant information from the completed page. This means that when a page is filled with information, instead of starting a new page from scratch, the relevant information is transferred or forwarded to the next page to ensure continuity and completeness of the account or journal.

By making a correcting journal entry, the error is reversed and the correct information is recorded, ensuring that the financial statements are accurate and reliable. This entry helps to maintain the integrity of the accounting records and provides a clear audit trail of the correction made.
