Errors would be detected by a trial balance?

[Rafael]

Hi all, I'd like to ask you a little problem with my studies, and my future job. errors would be detected by a trial balance? Thank you for informing me as soon as possible.

If the debit and credit columns of the trial balance have not been totaled correctly, an error will result, and this should be the first thing the accountant checks. Extracting an incorrect balance from one or more of the general ledger accounts will also create an error in the trial balance.
