TRIAL BALANCE.

All the books necessary FOR tho business
having been opened and the entries made
in each, the ledger accounts also having
been opened for each personal and imper-
sonal account, and all amounts having
been duly posted. we will proceed 10 test
the correctness OF the work by taking off
a trial balance.
IL Will be seen that tho main object OF
the trial balance is a check on the accu-
raoy OF the posting and balancing. 1t is
simply list of the ledger accounts, con-
tanning all the postinRs both debit and
credit since the last balancing
lt Is most ausual now only TO take out
balances (not totals). if the ledger bal
ances have teen carefully brought down.
IL Is sufficient 10 serve all purposes, and
saves much time and labor.
The following example OF trial balance
is one where only debit and credit bal
ances have been taken off. These bal
arcos have Deen taken from the ledger ac-
counts made up in the previous lesson on
ledger. TIE totals of the debts are in
the first column. ana the totals of tho
credits are in tho second column, the total
of each column agrees with both and so
proves that the books have been correctly
entered up and posted.
The outer left hand column is set apart
for the ledger folio. 1t is necessary TO use
it as in the event OF having difference
in the trial balance an amount might look
like an error, and by referring TO the led
ger folio. could easily turn up the ac-
count and examine the item.
