# Understanding Your Reconciliation Reports: Escrow Trial Balance

Posted by [SoftPro](https://blog.softprocorp.com/author/leslie.wyattsoftprocorp.com) on 11/30/22, 10:49 AM

Whether you're a SoftPro [reconciliation service](https://www.softprocorp.com/software-services/reconciliation-services/) customer or you prepare your own reconciliation reports, it's important to understand what your reconciliation reports are telling you. SoftPro's Understanding Your Reconciliation Reports video series provides a deep dive into each key report to help you better understand the condition of your escrow account.

In the second video of the series, SoftPro's Reconciliation Manger Mike McCloskey provides you with an in-depth look at the Escrow Trial Balance. He covers:

- What is and isn't included in the Escrow Trial Balance
- What to look for on this report
- And what to do if the Trial Balance is negative

Watch the video below!
