Prepare an unadjusted trial balance for "$ARGUMENTS". List all ledger account balances and verify that total debits equal total credits.

- Place debit balances in the debit column and credit balances in the credit column
- Order accounts by category: assets, liabilities, equity, revenue, expenses
-
Calculate totals:
- Sum all debit balances
- Sum all credit balances
- Compare totals — they must be equal
-
Investigate discrepancies:
- If totals do not match, check for:
- Transposition errors (digits swapped)
- Slide errors (decimal point shifted)
- Omitted or double-posted entries
- Entries posted to the wrong side
- Document any corrections made
