(c) In financial accounting, a balance sheet or statement of financial position is a summary of the financial status of an organisation which can be a sole proprietorship, a business partnership or a company. Assets, liabilities and ownership of equity are listed as on a specific date, which is normally the end of the financial year. A balance sheet is the “snapshot of a company’s financial condition”.
