Preparation of a Post-Closing Trial Balance

The eight phase in the accounting process is to prepare a post-closing trial balance.

Another trial balance is created after the nominal accounts have been closed and ruled, and the Real
account have been balanced and ruled, to verify the equality of the debit and credit amounts of accounts that
remain “open” in the General Ledger after closing the entry. The amounts with “open balances” in the ledger
after closing are the Real Accounts of Balance Sheet Accounts. The nominal accounts are being closed while
the real accounts are not. The post-closing trial balance therefor contains the list of the Balance Sheet.
Example shown below are the General Ledgers of all accounts under the Statement of Financial Position
(Balance Sheet) that are remained open after closing entries have been done.
