After a company has journalized and posted all adjusting entries, it prepares another Trial Balance from the ledger accounts. This trial balance is called an Adjusted Trial Balance. It shows the balances of all accounts, including those adjusted, at the end of the accounting period. The purpose of an adjusted trial balance is to prove the equality of the total debit balances and the total credit balances in the General Ledger after all adjustments. Because the accounts contain all data needed for financial statements, the adjusted trial balance is the primary basis for the preparation of financial statements.
