Step 4: Preparing Unadjusted Trial Balance
• To determine the equality of debits and credits as recorded
in the general ledger, an unadjusted trial balance is
prepared.
• This step takes information from the general ledger and
transfers it onto a document showing all account balances,
and ensuring that debits and credits for the period balance
(debit and credit totals are equal).
• It is a way to investigate and find the fault or prove the
correctness of the previous steps before proceeding to the
next step.
