Why don,t show the Closing stock in Trial Balance.
Answers were Sorted based on User's Feedback
Because trial balence is a balence/extract of every
ledger's balence ,each ledger having double effect which
goes to trial balence ,E.G for making payment one effect is
credit cash and dabit to party,every ledger with double
effect goes to only trial balence.
hence-closing stock is already included in
purchases+opening-Sales and each entry of three with double
effect shown in trial balence that is why closing stock is
not shown in trial balence.
