At the close of business, Nov. 30, the ledger is proved, in accordance with the rules given in Art. 7. All open accounts in the ledger are listed on ordinary journal ruled paper and the balances extended to the debit and credit columns. These columns are footed, the total of the credit columns being $1,564.02, and of the debit column, $56.08. Subtracting the latter from the former, we find the difference to be $1,507.94. The total postings—debit and credit—from the journal and the cash book are then entered and added, the total debit postings being $296.44, and the total credit postings, $1,804.38. The former deducted from the latter leaves $1,564.02, which agrees with the _difference_ in the ledger balances. This proves the correctness of the postings to the ledger, and takes the place of the trial balance used in the double entry method.
