Adverb-correspondingly

Rising inventories, when unaccompanied correspondingly by increases in sales, can lead to production cutbacks that would hamper economic growth.

ETS says correspondingly is used incorrectly and ambiguously in above sentence? However, it seems to be grammatically fine... Can someone help me out?

Thank you

ETS is correct. Use of correspondingly is superfluous. Rising inventories, when unaccompanied by increases in sales, can lead to production cutbacks that would hamper economic growth.
