Unlike the income statement, the balance sheet does not report activities over a period of time. The balance sheet is essentially a picture a company’s recourses, debts, and ownership on a given day. This is why the balance sheet is sometimes considered less reliable or less telling of a company’s current financial performance than a profit and loss statement. Annual income statements look at performance over the course of 12 months, where as, the statement of financial position only focuses on the financial position of one day.
When making up a balance sheet, you’ll want to look for at least one balance sheet example. We have several free templates, some with examples, on this page that you can look at to gain a clearer understanding of what it’s all about. To understand your balance sheet, you should have some basic knowledge of business accounting. It will be useful when looking at your business’s debits and credits. These are the numbers that you want to balance. A basic formula to remember in accounting is Assets = Liabilities + Equity. Most balance sheets will be organized into three sections. These section will contain 3 subtotals, one for assets, one for liabilities and, if relevant, equity.
