What do you mean by under-footing?

I really worked on my assignment about correcting Trial balance. I have adjusted the transactions written on our book, but then it wouldn't balance.. can you teach how to do it?

Who are you talking to?

Footing is silly jargon for checking the totals to make sure it adds up correctly. If your TB is off (total debits do not equal total credits), it may just a footing issue in that you did not include all of the cells to total up.

To do a trial balance you extract a list of the balances on all the general ledger accounts
If it doesn't balance there are several possibilities.
You have made an error when transcribing the numbers or the accounts, recheck your work
You have made an addition error, recheck your additions
An entry has been posted incorrectly, check the posting of all entries
If a manual ledger an individual account contains an error in addition, subtraction, check the posting of all entries
If an electronic ledger an error has occurred, create new ledger starting at the last trial balance and repost all the entries
