General

A balance sheet is a statement of a business's financial position on a particular date. It lists what the business owns (assets), what it owes (liabilities) and the owners' stake (capital and reserves).

The two sides always balance: assets equal liabilities plus owners' equity. Unlike a profit and loss account, which covers a period, the balance sheet is a snapshot at the close of that date.
