207. What is the purpose of an adjusted trial balance? What type(s) of error does it detect? What type(s) of error does it
not detect?
ANSWER:
The purpose of an adjusted trial balance is to make sure that debits equal credits before
financial statements are prepared. If a debit is incorrectly posted as a credit or vice
versa, the error will be detected. Likewise, if the debit(s) and credit(s) for a posted
transaction do not equal, that error will be detected. Errors that will not be detected
include omitting a required adjusting entry or posting a debit or credit for the correct
amount to the wrong account.
