1] Ascertainment of the Arithmetical Accuracy
We record the entire debit as well as the credit balances of the ledger accounts in a Trial Balance. In other words, it is the summary of all the ledger accounts. The total of debit side shall be equal to the credit side, for the trial balance to get tallied. When it tallies, we assume that the posting and the balancing of the ledger accounts are accurate. Thus, it ensures the arithmetical accuracy of the ledgers. However, this is not the conclusive evidence of the correctness and the accuracy of the ledger accounts.
2] Locating the Errors
It helps in locating the errors in the posting or recording of the transactions. When a Trial Balance does not tally, then we know that the errors must have occurred at the time of
- totaling the Subsidiary books
- posting in the ledgers
- balancing the accounts
- writing the account balances in the trial balance
- totaling the trial balance. After finding the errors we need to rectify them.
3] Preparation of Financial Statements
The Trial Balance is a summary of all the ledger account balances. Thus, while preparing the final accounts, we do not need to refer the individual accounts. We can take the final balances of the accounts directly from the Trial Balance. We directly transfer the final balances to the Trading and Profit and Loss A/c and Balance Sheet

There are five Different types of errors which don’t affect the trial balance ,

(2) Error of commission :- Where we have entered the correct amounts but in wrong person’s account.

(4) Error of compensation :- These are that errors which cancel the effects of each other.

The following are the importance of journal:-
- Each transaction is recorded as soon as it takes place. So there is no possibility of any transaction being omitted from the books of account.
- Since the transactions are kept recorded in journal chronologically with narration, it can be easily ascertained when and why a transaction has taken place.
- For each and every transaction which of the two concerned accounts will be debited and which account credited, are clearly written in journal. So, there is no possibility of committing any mistake in writing the ledger.
- Since all the details of transactions are recorded in journal, it is not necessary to repeat them in ledger. As a result ledger is kept tidy and brief.
- Journal shows the complete story of a transaction in one entry.
- Any mistake in ledger can be easily detected with the help of journal.
