Balance Sheet

A balance sheet is a financial statement that reports a company's assets, liabilities, and shareholders' equity at a specific point in time, providing a snapshot of what it owns and owes.

The balance sheet follows the equation: Assets = Liabilities + Equity. It's one of the three main financial statements, alongside the income statement and cash flow statement. It includes items like deferred revenue and prepaid expenses and is used to assess working capital.
