Accounting

Balance sheet

The statement that shows what a company has and what it owes on a particular date.

It presents assets, liabilities, and equity and forms part of the annual accounts.

An example

The balance sheet at December 31 shows the balances with which the following year begins.

The typical mistake

Confusing it with the income statement. The balance sheet is a snapshot; the income statement covers a period.
