This adjustment, though, does not alter the fact that outstanding obligations have been incurred but not accounted for, thus overstating the available balance.'' This is an example of possible mishandlings after the selection of ________________.

I'm not sure, but I think A) Cash basis of accounting would not address the issue mentioned in the question. It only records transactions when cash is exchanged, not when obligations are incurred.

I agree with Annamae. Accrual basis of accounting recognizes revenues when they are earned and expenses when they are incurred, which would prevent mishandlings like the one mentioned.
