Trial Balance

The Trial Balance displays a listing of your general ledger accounts and their balances for specific dates selected and for the year to date.

A trial balance is usually produced at the end of an accounting period and is used to prepare adjusting entries and the financial statements. The total of the debit side should always be equal to the total of the credit side, which proves the arithmetic accuracy of the ledger entry.

If, at the end of the report an Out of Balance warning is displayed, you will have to run some checks to determine which account is out of balance. You can run the Check Entries routine from Maintenance > Database Maintenance > Check Transactions to determine where the problem is.
