When should an ARC accredited agent correct errors in the sales report?

• A. Only during the submission window
• B. Never
• C. Any time before submitting the report
• D. After the report has been submitted

Answer: (C)

The key idea is ensuring accuracy before finalizing and sending the report. You should correct any errors as soon as you find them, at any time up to the point you actually submit the sales data. This keeps the report true and prevents issues with settlements and ARC reconciliation. Once the report has been submitted, edits aren’t made in the same submission cycle, and corrections would require a separate adjustment process, which can delay processing. So, the best practice is to fix errors anytime before submitting.
