Douglas, you're right! I guess I mixed up the terms! Thank you!

O que significa demonstrativo? Detalhado? Sei o que é um balancete analítico vs. sintético, mas desconheço o significado de um balancete demonstrativo. Quererá indicar que é detalhado, com indicação dos débitos/créditos por rubrica? Não sei o significado em português, pelo que estou muito longe de saber como se diz em inglês. O curioso é que estudei Contabilidade Geral e Analítica, mas como foi no século passado...
Douglas Bissell Feb 3, 2017:
Preparing a trial balance for a company serves to detect any mathematical errors that have occurred in the double-entry accounting system. If the total debits equal the total credits, the trial balance is considered to be balanced, and there should be no mathematical errors in the ledgers. However, this does not mean there are no errors in a company's accounting system. For example, transactions classified improperly or those simply missing from the system could still be material accounting errors that would not be detected by the trial balance procedure.

No they are not wrong. You are.
The question clearly states: 'contas mensais de uma Associação '

This means it is a Trial Balance and not a Balance Sheet. If your wrong answer was selected as the correct one, many unknowning translators would also be mislead.
Ana Cravidao (asker) Feb 3, 2017:
Balancete não é Balanço O balancete refere-se às contas de um único mês, o balanço inclui o ano inteiro, se a memória não me falha em relação ao que estudei há muitos anos.
