The equality of debits and credits of the ________ does not mean that the individual accounts are also accurate.

Trial balance lists all ledger balances showing equality of total debits and credits. But this equality only proves mathematical accuracy - debits equal credits. It does NOT prove that individual account balances are correct. Errors like compensating errors, errors of omission, posting to wrong account but correct side can still exist while trial balance balances. Bank reconciliation and cash book don't test accuracy.
