"inconsitency" is fine too but I would prefer "discrepancy"

should read "inconsistency"

Comment: "Thanks! all good answers, but I think this is the most appropriate one.. I would even say "a discrepancy in the amount of the draft and what was recorded" but the source says "contable" so I'm going to stick with "accounting discrepancy" "
