AS you can see, it shows all the accounts heads with their balances. You can also check the particular account details by click on it. It will show the full ledger entries from the date when you installed the software.
You can set the date of chart of accounts to check the balances on a particular date or between two dates. The chart of accounts shows all accounts heads which may have balances or not.
The chart of accounts is different from trail balance. The trail balance shows the all accounting heads with balances as on particular date. The debit and credit side of trial balances will always tally, that is not in the case of chart of accounts. The chart of accounts shows the profit & Loss balance, closing inventory balance also, which is not shown by trail balances.
Hope you have got the understanding of chart of accounts. You may also ask query by commenting.
