Balance Sheet


The balance sheet represents the balances, or amounts, or a company's owners, assets and liabilities' equity at an instant in time. As it's used in the term balance sheet, it refers to the balance of the two opposite sides of a business, total assets on one side and total liabilities on the other. The balance of an account, such as the asset, liability, expense and revenue accounts, refers to the amount in the account after recording increases and decreases in the account, just like the balance in your checking account.

Profit making activities are reported in the income statement; financing and investing activities are found in the statement of cash flows. In other words, two different financial statements are prepared for the two different types of transactions. The statement of cash flows also reports the cash increase or decrease from profit during the year as opposed to the amount of profit that is reported in the income statement.

A balance sheet is a quick picture of the financial condition of a business at a specific period in time. There are also financing and investing activities that include securing money from debt and equity sources of capital, returning capital to these sources, making distributions from profit to the owners, making investments in assets and eventually disposing of the assets.
