The Trial Balance report shows the balances of your general ledger accounts for your chosen date. The income and expense account balances include transactions dated from the start of your financial year to the report date you specify. Normally, this sort of report consists of debit amounts in one column and credit amounts in another, but our innovative report combines these columns so you can see the total of the credit balances in your Google Spreadsheet.

In a manual accounting system, the trial balance would draw attention to various errors that occur when transactions are journalized, posted, computed, etc. But with accounting software like G-Accon, these errors are reduced and avoidable.
