When you are preparing a trial balance, you may find that you have an unbalanced trial balance. This means that you have an error somewhere in the accounting process. Finding and correcting that error is where accountants and bookkeepers earn their stripes.

Below are possible sources of errors in your trial balance and steps on how to correct them.

Adding the debits and credits for the trial balance incorrectly

In preparing your trial balance, you add up the credit totals from your ledger account balances and place that total on the trial balance for that ledger account in the credit column. You do the same for the debit totals. One of the most common errors (and most easily found) is simply adding the columns incorrectly.

Solution: Double check your math and add the columns again. Typically, I'll add the column from top to bottom, then again from bottom to top, to make sure I get the same answer.
