balancing different types of accounts
- If the account is a movement in owners’ capital account then it is balanced off to the
capital account
- If the account is a revenue (income) account, the balance is transferred to the
income statement account
- If the account is an asset, liability, or capital account the balance carries forward into
the new period
, The nature of a trial balance
- A trial balance is a list of the balances in the ledger at the end of an accounting
period, divided between those accounts with debit balances and those with credit
balances
- Since every transaction recorded in the ledger consists of both a debit and credit
entry, the total of those accounts in the trial balance with debit balances should
equal the total of those with credit balances
