The Trial Balance
Bayani Gaba-gaba
Every business records thousands of transactions, and the double entry system promises that for every debit there is an equal credit. The trial balance is the quick test of that promise. It is a single list of all the balances in the ledger on a chosen date, set out in a debit column and a credit column, and if the bookkeeping is arithmetically sound the two columns will add up to exactly the same total. It is the accountant's first health check before any financial statements are drawn up.
In this lesson you will learn what a trial balance is for, how to build one from a list of balances, and how to fix one that an inexperienced bookkeeper has put together badly. Just as importantly, you will learn what a balanced trial balance does not prove, because there are six types of error that slip straight past it. Knowing those six is a guaranteed source of exam marks and the foundation for the next topic on correcting errors.
