A trial balance is a report that lists the balances of all general ledger accounts of a company at a certain point in time. The accounts reflected on a trial balance are related to all major accounting items, including assets, liabilities, equity, revenues, expenses, gains, and losses. It is primarily used to identify the balance of debits and credits entries from the transactions recorded in the general ledger at a certain point in time. We have included a virtual account:
(i)Revenue reserve which is the total accumulated profits and loss before the period of the trial balance for instance if you selected the end date as 31-12-2021, the total revenue reserve will accumulate up to 31-12-2020.
