Understand your trial balance report

The trial balance report displays the total credits and debits for all of your account balances on a specific date. This report helps you find errors in account balances and ensure your books are balanced.

Accounts with a balance of zero will not appear on your report.

Use your trial balance report to:

  • Review account balances as of a specific date
  • Verify that the total debits of all accounts equal the total credits of all accounts
  • Find discrepancies or errors in your ledger
  • Confirm account balances for reconciliation
