Tell me about a time when the transaction is posted to the wrong account or period. What did you do?

I first confirmed the facts and contained the immediate impact. Next, I reviewed the source document, chart of accounts, and posting record and coordinated the action to confirm the debit, credit, account, amount, and supporting document. After verifying the result, I summarized the root cause, preventive control, owner, and follow-up plan so the issue would not recur.
