Trial Balance A Trial Balance is also referred to as an unadjusted Trial Balance because it is prepared before adjustments. A Trial Balance lists each account and the account balance at the end of the accounting period.

Adjustments At the end of the accounting period before preparing financial statements, make any adjustments necessary to bring the accounts up to date. Adjustments are entered in the Journal using debits and credits.
Adjusted Trial Balance Prepare an Adjusted Trial Balance (a Trial Balance after adjustments) to verify that the accounting system still balances. If additional account detail is required, print the general ledger (the collection of all the accounts listing the transactions that affected the accounts).
