(b) Mr Raj wants to check the accuracy of posting various transactions in the ledger. His friend suggested him to prepare the trial balance. What are the various steps he should keep in mind for preparing the trial balance? (See Lesson-9)

Ans: Steps in Preparing Trial balance: A Trial balance refers to a list of the ledger balances as on a particular date. It can be prepared in the following manner:

1.         Total Method: According to this method, debit total and credit total of each account of ledger are recorded in the Trial balance.

2.         Balance Method: According to this method, only balance of each account of ledger is recorded in Trial balance. Some accounts may have debit balance and the other may have credit balance. All these debit and credit balances are recorded in it. This method is widely used.

3.         Compound Method: This method presents both the balance and total method in the same trial balance. There are four columns for balances and totals.

While preparing the trial balance from the given list of ledger balances, following rules should be taken into care:

1.         The balances of all assets account, expenses and losses account, drawings, cash and bank balances are placed in the debit column of the trial balance.

2.         The balances of all liabilities account, incomes and gains account and Capital balances are placed in the credit column of the trial balance.

3.         If there is no error, both sides of trial balance will be tallied. But in case of errors and omission, there will be some difference in trial balance. The following steps must be taken to rectify the errors:

a)        Divide the difference by two and find out if some figure equal to that (half the difference) appears in the trial balance. It is possible that such item might have been recorded on the wrong side of mal balance, causing double the difference.

b)        If the mistake is not located, the difference should be divided by 9 and if difference is evenly divisible by 9 the error be due to transportation of figures, e.g. Rs. 590 wrongly recorded as 950, the difference is (950-590) 360 and it is evenly divisible by 9.

c)         The next step is to recheck the debit and credit totals of trial balance to satisfy that trial balance has been cast correctly.

d)        If mistake remains undetected, make sure that balances or totals of all the ledger accounts have been correctly shown in the trial balance. Special care should be taken to ensure that cash or bank balances have been duly incorporated in the mal balance.

e)        The next step should be to recheck that all the closing balances from preceding year's balance sheet were correctly carried forward and recorded in respective accounts in the ledger.

f)         Further the totaling and balancing of the ledger accounts should be redone so as to be sure that there is no mistake on that account.

g)        Check the totals of schedule of debtors and creditors and find out that the balances have been included in the list.

h)        If difference is round sum, it is advisable to check casting and carry forwards. But if the difference is odd sum the balancing should be checked minutely.

i)          Even then if error is not located, all the accounts should be checked thoroughly.
