Trial balance (v1)
Trial balance is one of Demiton's published registers for Australian civil construction. Debit and credit balance per general ledger account. Demiton keeps it current from the systems a contractor already runs and publishes the record's shape as a versioned JSON Schema, so the same question works whichever system produced the record.
