You get it from the general ledger, because it consolidates all the individual ledger accounts. You grab all this information to ensure that the total debits equal total credits.

You can draw info from:

general ledger accounts
subsidiary ledgers (if you've got 'em)
adjusting journal entries (to update balances)
closing entries (for final balances)
