The contents of a trial balance will be your assets, liabilities, and equity accounts and all your ledger (temporary accounts). This is to check for accuracy in your ledger accounts and that your financial statements "balance out'. After you do your "trial balance" you then close your books for the year, closing all temporary accounts which include expenses and revenue (income). Once this is complete you prepare a Post-Closing Trial Balance (post-closing meaning "after closing"). This is to double check that all ledger accounts are closed properly and that your financial statements balance.

There is no "ledger" that summarizes your ledger.The General Ledger used by companies is a list of all accounts the company has, assets, liabilities, owners equity. A summary of these accounts is created using your "trial balance", "adjusted trial balance" and finally, the "post-closing trial balance".Not only does the trial balance summarize all the accounts in the general ledger, it also insures that the accounts "balance". Once adjustments are made (i.e. payments made, payments received, income earned, prepaid expenses used, etc.) then an adjusted trial balance is created. Now the next step is, if you want to find the amount of Retained Earning for the period (what the company made after all expenses are paid) closing entries are entered into the ledger and a post closing trial balance is created along with the income statement, statement of retained earnings, statement of owners equity and many times the balance sheet.
