Concept Introduction
T Account:
A T-account is the graphical representation of a general ledger that records business transactions. A T-Account looks like the letter T, where the debit entries are recorded at the left side, the credit entries are recorded on the right side and the account title is at the top.
The Trial Balance is a list of closing balance of all ledger accounts on a particular date. It is a summary of all T-Account balances in the ledger and the total of debit and credit balances should always match.
