This study deals with the concord errors found in the writing assignments made by the students of the Faculty of Economics and Business, Udayana University. It is aimed at finding the types of concord errors found in the students’ writing assignments, and analysing the occurrence of concord errors made by the students. The data were taken from the students’ writing assignments in two classes. There are 30 writings taken as the data representatives from the two classes. This study uses the qualitativedescriptive method, in which the data were collected through note taking technique and analysed using the theory proposed by Quirk (1986) and Richards (1974). The results show that there are five types of concord errors made by the students, namely subject-verb concord, notional concord, collective noun concord, concord of person, and indefinite pronoun concord. The errors occurred due to the ignorance of rule restrictions and the incomplete applications of rules.
