Balance Sheet A balance sheet is one of the three annual financial statements that companies are legally required to produce for auditing purposes. It is a record of an organization’s financial position at a specific date, usually the end of the trading year A balance sheet must contain 3 essential parts: assets, liabilities and capital and reserves
