What is clerical error and how to avoid it?

A clerical error is a small mistake made while recording, typing, or copying information, such as wrong numbers, spelling mistakes, or missing data. It can be avoided by carefully reviewing work, double-checking entries, using clear records, and verifying information before final submission.
 
Clerical errors are small mistakes in documents like typos, wrong numbers, or missing details that happen while typing or recording information. I usually avoid them by double checking the document, reading it once more slowly, and sometimes asking someone else to review it.
