Trial Balance Report

The Trial Balance Report lists the total debits and credits posted to each G/L Account as of a particular date.  Under the double-entry accounting system, in any transaction, the total debits must equal the total credits, so in a Trial Balance the total of the debit side should always be equal to the total of the credit side.   This report serves as a tool to detect errors, which can result in the totals not being equal. Often credits are represented as a negative, in which case the total of the trial balance should be 0.  The report may be generated for an accounting period range or a specific date range.  An option is available to print the data for All Branches or one particular Branch.
