Yes if the closing stock is given in trial balance it is shown in Assesst side of Balance Sheet, while if closing stock is given in'Adjustments' then it is shown in credit side of Trading a/c as well Asset side of balance sheet
Withdrawals are recorded on the credit side of the trial balance.
Because when someone returns goods we hv more stock, hence we debit it in the trial balance, note that it is taken away from sales in the p & l just as expenses are debited in the trial balance and taken away in the p & l
Payable is considered as liability and shown in credit side of trial balance as these are those amounts which are receivable in future period of time.
Indemnity always goes to the credit side.

Types of Errors:Errors affecting Trial Balance (or Errors Disclosed by Trial Balance):If the Trial Balance does not tally, it will indicate that certain errors have been committed which have affected the agreement of the Trial Balance. The accountant will then proceed to find out the errors and ultimately the errors will be located. Such errors are called 'Errors Disclosed by Trial Balance or Errors which affect the agreement of Trial Balance. Until such errors are rectified, the Trial Balance will not agree. Some of these types of errors are as follows:Wrong Casting: If the total of the Cash Book or some other Subsidiary Book is wrong, the Trial Balance will not tally. For example, the total of the Purchase book has been added Rs. 2000 in excess. When this total will be posted to the debit side of the purchase account, it will also show an excess debit of Rs. 2000 and hence, the Trial Balance will not tally.Posting to the Wrong Side: If instead of posting an amount on the debit side of an account, it is posted on the credit side, or vice versa, the Trial balance will not tally. For example, goods for Rs. 2000 from Gopal. If instead of posting the amount on the credit side of Gopal's account it is posted to his debit, the debit side of the Trial Balance will exceed the credit by Rs. 4,000.Posting of Wrong Amount: The Trial Balance will not tally if the posting in an account is made with an incorrect amount. For example, goods for Rs. 600 have been purchased from Mahendra. If, it has been correctly entered in the Purchase Book or purchase account, but while posting to Mehendra's account, in credit side (correct side) the amount posted is Rs. 60 instead of Rs. 600, the Trial Balance will not tally.Omission of Posting of One Side of an Entry: For example if Rs. 500 have been received from Ram and correctly entered in the Cash Book or Cash Account but if it is omitted to be posted on the credit side of Ram's Account, the Trial Balance will not tally.Double Posting in a Single Account: For example if Rs. 500 have been received from Shyam Lal and correctly entered in the Cash Account, but if it is posted twice on the credit side of Shyam Lal's account, the Trial Balance will not tally.Errors of Totaling and Balancing of Accounts in the Ledger: Errors may occur in the totaling of debit or credit sides of accounts in the Ledger or in the balancing of accounts in the Ledger. Because the balances of accounts are transferred to the Trial Balance, Then the Trial balance will not tally.
Indemnity always goes to the credit side.
Accrued expenses are also expenses which are accrued but not paid yet so these are also shown in debit side of trial balance.
