Accounting -> Preparation of reports: the trial balance The trial balance At the end of the accounting period ledger accounts are closed off if they are revenue or expense items, and balanced if assets, liabilities or owners equity items. There are two presentations of the trial balance: the pre-trial balance and the post trial balance. The distinction between the two is easily seen when preparing the '10 column worksheet', in the next topic. The post trial balance occurs after balance day adjustments. The purpose of the trial balance is to compile all the ledger account totals and balances in order to confirm the accuracy of the recording process. Assets and expenses are listed in then debit column while revenue, liabilities and owners equity items are shown in the credit column. Negative items are also shown. Accumulated depreciation of non-current assets is shown on the credit side and drawings are shown on the debit side of the trial balance.
