VI. Read the text and say what a trial balance is prepared for.

If the debit part of a journal entry was posted properly to its general ledger account, but the credit side was not posted or the wrong amount was posted, the whole equation would be out of balance. To help to discover this type of error prior to the preparation of financial statements, companies prepare a trial balance. It is an internal document, so, unlike financial statements that are prepared for external users in specific formats, there is no requirement that it be prepared in any particular format. However, the trial balance will generally show the account balances in the general ledger in two separate columns – one for debit balances and one for credit balances. Each of these two columns is totaled1 to check for equality.

A trial balance only proves equality of debits and credits. It does not guarantee that the correct accounts have been debited and credited, nor does it help to locate required journal entries that were never made.

It is possible to prepare financial statements directly from a trial balance.
