- journal: a self-balancing (Dr = Cr) list of entries for a specific period including beginning balance for that period
- ledger: a complete list of entries for a specific account (or list of accounts) for a specific period; note - debits do not have to equal credits
- assets: a listing of open receivables, payables, inventory, fixed assets or other information that can be extracted from but are not necessarily included as part of a journal entry
- trialBalance: the self-balancing (Dr = Cr) result of accumulation of a complete and validated list of entries for the entity in a complete list of accounts in a specific period - often sorted by date or by account
