If the Trial Balance has been checked out to another member of the engagement team, you may choose to view and print the Trial Balance within the Engagement CS workspace. The Trial Balance Report lists the balance for a selected basis type for each account. You can also choose one of the available basis types and whether or not you want to display the adjustments (total amounts for each account column).

Choose Tasks > Trial Balance to open the Trial Balance Report dialog (only available when the Trial Balance has been checked out to another staff member working on the same engagement).

Note: If the Trial Balance has been assigned to you, the Trial Balance opens in the Engagement CS Document View window where you can add, edit, and delete Adjusting Journal Entries directly in the Trial Balance grid.

Special information

  • The Trial Balance in the Tree View window is grayed if it has been assigned to another staff member of the engagement team.
  • As the staff in charge of the engagement, you can right-click on the Trial Balance icon or choose Tasks > Assign Trial Balance to assign the Trial Balance to another member of the engagement team. See Assigning the Trial Balance.
  • Basis. You can choose bases from the F4 drop-down to view on the Trial Balance Report:
    • Unadjusted
    • Adjusted
    • Report
    • Tax
    • Other
  • Only the Unadjusted column appears in the Trial Balance report when the Unadjusted column is selected as the basis. For all other bases, both the Unadjusted and the basis that is selected appear as separate columns in the Trial Balance report.
  • The total amounts for each account (based on basis type selected) is displayed in a separate column of the Trial Balance report when the Display adjustments column is marked. (The Display adjustments column checkbox is marked by default.).

Note: The account balances are displayed based on the engagement period.
