Trial Balance

A trial balance is a summary of all ledger balances, and helps in checking whether the transactions are correct and balanced. If journal entries are error-free and posted correctly to the general ledger, the total of all debit balances should be equal the total of all credit balances. You can view this report in browser .

Note : By default, the Trial Balance report will be generated as on the date of the last voucher entry. You can change the date to view the report for the required period.
