Training Room 5: Posting the Opening Entry

The Posting Opening Entry Rubric is provided for reference. This rubric is also available for reference in the Toolkit whenever you like.

Tip
Does the total debits in the ledger equal the total credits? If not, check your work again to see what was posted incorrectly.
