Which code represents Carried Forward?

Which code represents Carried Forward?

• A. O
• B. CF
• C. PP
• D. CFD

Answer: (B)

Carried Forward is indicated by the code CF. This shorthand specifically signals that an entry or balance isn’t settled in the current period and will be carried into the next one, keeping the ledger continuous. The other codes stand for different statuses or actions (Open/Outstanding, Paid or Prepaid, etc.) and do not denote carrying a balance forward, so they aren’t used to mark items that roll over to the next period. When you see CF, you should read it as the balance or item being carried forward to the next cycle.
