Balancing a ledger account
Step 1 Total both debit and credit sides of the ledger account and make a note of each sub-total
Step 2 Insert the higher of the two totals as the final total on both sides of the ledger account
Step 3 On the side with the smaller sub-total insert the figure needed to make this column add up to the final total. This should be referred to as “balance carried down” (“bal c/d”)
Step 4 On the opposite side of the ledger account, below the final total insert this same figure. This should be referred to as “balance brought down” (“bal b/d”)
