Trial Balance


Explanation:
To start with, "balanza" and "balance" are two different things in Spanish. A trial balance is a listing of account balances. All accounts with debit balances are totaled separately from accounts with credit balances. The two totals should be equal. Trial balancs are taken as a partial check of the arithmetic accuracy of the entries previously made. There are various types of trial balances such as: adjusted trial balance, preclosing trial balance, postclosing trial balance, monthly trial balance, and unadjusted trial balance.
"Auxiliares de compras nacionales y extranjeras" are domestic and foreign purchase subsidiary ledgers.

Before I forget, \"balance\" in Spanish in the Mexican accounting community is often a reduced way of saying \"balance general\", meaning balance sheet. Hope this helps a little more.
