WHAT IS A BALANCE SHEET? |
A Balance Sheet is a snapshot of the financial position of an entity. This snapshot is at a point of time. Say, as at 7 May 2007, you look at Company A’s balance sheet, it reflects the financial position as at that day. After that day, the financial position company A can change to a better or worse situation. Also, remember that in the Balance Sheet, we have the three (3) key components: Assets= LIABILITIES + Owners Equity ( Refer to my illustration for the Dual Aspect Concept)
