  An adjustment charge is a type of expense that is used to adjust the value of an asset or liability. It is typically used to correct errors in the accounting records or to adjust for changes in the value of an asset or liability. Adjustment charges are recorded in the financial statements as a debit to the asset or liability account and a credit to the expense account.

  Adjustment charges can be used to correct errors in the accounting records or to adjust for changes in the value of an asset or liability. When recording an adjustment charge, the debit should be made to the asset or liability account and a credit should be made to the expense account. The amount of the adjustment charge should be equal to the difference between the original value of the asset or liability and its current value.
