Post the general journal entries from the journal to the corresponding general led- ger accounts, paying particular attention to whether they're debits or credits. Use the Post Ref. column to ensure that each line item of the journal entries is posted correctly to each general ledger account. Posting from the journal to the general ledger is simply rearranging the information. If the debits equal the credits for a particular journal entry and the information is posted correctly, the total of the deb- its should equal the total of the credits in the general ledger 4. Calculate the balances in the general ledger accounts, running the numbers several times for accuracy. Often, debits won't equal credits on the trial balance because a hand-held calculator is used and the math is done only once. Using a hand-held calculator can introduce errors. This is why an Excel spreadsheet is recommended. However, if a hand-held calculator is all that's available to you, be sure to do the math enough times that you know the calculations are accurate. To calculate the balances in the ledger accounts, do the following Add the debits Add the credits. Subtract the larger amount from the other, or, alternatively, keep the running balance of the amount in the account and whether it's a debit or credit on the ledger. A 1 DATE POST REF.
