TRIAL BALANCE
After the General Ledger have been balanced, we need to check if the double
entry principle has been applied for all the transactions. So all the debit entries
should be equal to all the credit entries. To do this we set up a Trail Balance of
all the General Ledger accounts.
Step 3: If the totals are the same, then the Trial Balance balances.
