The trial balance is prepared after all the transactions for the period have been journalized and posted to the General Ledger. The key to preparing a trial balance is making sure that all the account balances are listed under the correct column. The appropriate columns are as follows:

Assets = Debit balance

Liabilities = Credit balance

Expenses = Debit Balance

Equity = Credit balance

Revenue = Credit balance
