### Prepare and Review a Trial Balance

#### Step 1: Select the company and exact as-of date or period

#### Step 2: Choose detail/hierarchy and zero-balance options where available

#### Step 3: Confirm total debits equal total credits

#### Step 4: Compare opening balances with the prior approved close

#### Step 5: Reconcile customer, supplier, inventory, tax, cash/bank, and retained-earnings controls

#### Step 6: Drill into material, unusual, negative, or suspense balances

#### Step 7: Export the reviewed version with filters and timestamp

### Check your work

Debit and credit totals agree, control accounts compare and confirm, and closing balances roll into financial statements.
