c) A trial balance is a list of general ledger balances at the end of a period. It is an accounting tool to ensure that the two sides of the double entry bookkeeping are in balance. Discrepancies are sorted out, if any. It forms the basis for preparing the financial statements whereby temporary accounts are transferred to the income summary while the permanent accounts are taken to the balance sheet, after all adjustments have been made.
