Chapter 4 Completing the Accounting Cycle
The journal entries for Kelly Consulting have been posted to the ledger shown in Exhibit 17 on pages 172–173.
Step 3. Preparing an Unadjusted Trial Balance
An unadjusted trial balance is prepared to determine whether any errors have been made in posting the debits and credits to the ledger. The unadjusted trial balance
shown in Exhibit 10 does not provide complete proof of the accuracy of the ledger. It indicates only that the debits and the credits are equal. This proof is of value, however,
because errors often affect the equality of debits and credits. If the two totals of a trial balance are not equal, an error has occurred that must be discovered and corrected.
