I vaguely recall something about visualization techniques, but I don't think that's the main focus here. B seems to align better with what we learned about effective communication.

I keep second-guessing myself, but I feel like letting the data drive conclusions is also crucial. Still, I think B makes more sense for this specific question.

Okay, I've got this. The solution is to set the processing option in the General Ledger Post program to not create those types of journal entries. That way, I can address the issue at the source before the entries get posted to the Account Ledger. Simple!
