Trial Balance
• The following errors cannot be detected by the trial balance:
– No entry was made for a given transaction
– A journal entry was not posted to the general ledger
– A journal entry was posted twice
– Incorrect accounts were used to record a given transaction
– Incorrect amounts were recorded for a given transaction
Trial Balance
• Common errors or mistakes that make the trial balance unbalance
– Error in addition or subtraction in the general ledger or error in
addition in the trial balance itself.
– Error of transposition, which means that digits are incorrectly
interchanged. (e.g. P890 is recorded as P980)
– Slide error or transplacement error, which means error in placing the
decimal point. (e.g. P150.00 is recorded as P15.00)
Trial Balance
• LOCATING ERRORS IN THE TRIAL BALANCE
– Get the difference between the total debits and total
credits.
– A difference of 10, 100, 1,000 etc. would probably indicate a
simple error in addition either in the trial balance or the
general ledger
– If the difference is divisible by two, the error would probably
be in the posting to the wrong side (i.e. a debit is posted the
credit side or vice versa)
– If the difference is divisible by nine, the error would
probably be an error in transposition or error in
transplacement.
Trial Balance
Procedure to correct errors in journalizing or posting
1. Draw a straight horizontal line through the error and
insert the correct title or amount if the entry is
incorrect or the posting is incorrect.
2. Make a correcting entry. This will correct the wrong
entry recorded.
