    Trial balances
    Hi

    I am a trying to work out from my ledgers the trial balance before adjustments are made.
    I have only used the notes for the year ended 30 nov 2005 to produce my ledgers is this correct? As my trial balance does not balance so I am assuming I have missed something out?

    Thank you
