A Balance Sheet is a key financial statement that provides a snapshot of a company’s financial position at a specific point in time. It outlines the company's assets, liabilities, and shareholders' equity, offering a clear picture of what the business owns and owes. The balance sheet is divided into two sections: assets (including cash, inventory, and receivables) and liabilities and equity (including loans, accounts payable, and equity capital). It helps businesses and stakeholders assess financial health, profitability, and liquidity, enabling better decision-making. A well-prepared balance sheet is crucial for financial planning, attracting investors, and maintaining transparency in compliance with financial regulations.
