The trial balance lists the total debits, credits and the balance of each account in the month. It is the test that the accounting is sound.
Para que esta tela existe
Balances by account for the period, with debits = credits (trial balance). — this is the role of the "Trial balance" screen within the platform.
How to
Trocar de mês e levar o balancete
The arrows next to the month label navigate to the previous and next month, reloading the balances right away. The CSV and PDF buttons download the trial balance for the displayed month, with all accounts. The screen obeys your profile's permission to see values: without it, the balances are not displayed. When the month has no entries, the screen tells you instead of showing an empty table — change the month with the arrows to find the period with activity.
Rules
It has to add up
The sum of ALL debits must equal the sum of ALL credits (and, consequently, the sum of debit balances must equal that of credit balances). If it does not balance, there is an error in the entries.
Frequently asked questions
Debit vs. credit balance
Each account shows its balance on its natural side: asset/expense accounts usually have debit balances; liability/equity/revenue accounts, credit balances.
