Businesses in Italy use the Trial Balance report to verify the accuracy of transactions in individual account ledgers. When all the transactions are accurate, the totals of this report equal the totals of the General Ledger report and the General Ledger Registration report. Businesses often print the Trial Balance report to facilitate:

  • Internal audits, to verify one or more accounts

  • External audits, as required by a fiscal authority or auditing firm

You can print the Trial Balance report to review the total debit and credit amounts for each account in any given ledger. You can also find errors that cause the General Ledger to be out of balance. Possible errors might include incorrect entries or missing transactions.

When you print this report, you can use data selections to specify:

  • The company chart of accounts (defined in the Account Master table) or an alternate chart of accounts (defined in category codes 21, 23, or 23)

  • Business units and subsidiaries

  • Totals by object account

  • Beginning and ending dates

  • Multiple ledger types

  • Exclusion of accounts with a zero balance

  • Account balance totals based on the level of detail of the account
