Trial Balance
Muhtasari
Every account in the ledger holds a balance, and once a year (at least) a bookkeeper lists every single one of them in two columns to check that the books still balance. That list is the trial balance, and it is the single most common numerical exercise in the whole Edexcel Accounting course.
In this lesson you will learn why a trial balance is prepared, how to prepare one correctly from a list of ledger balances, and, just as importantly, exactly what a balancing trial balance does and does not prove.
Malengo
