The balance sheet is a THE fundamental financial statement, and learning it is essential when studying accounting. This is a big and complex topic, hence we break it down into two sessions. The learning objectives of this module are: Understand the foundation of double-entry accounting; Understand the accounting equation, Assets = Liabilities + Equity; Understand that every transaction in a company affects at least two accounts and the balance sheet remains balanced; Understand how accountants ensure that financial records are accurate and transactions are properly recorded; Get a snapshot of a company’s financial position; Understanding financial health, by knowing what the company owns (assets), what it owes (liabilities), and what remains to the owners (equity); Understand how to assess liquidity and solvency; Look at current assets (like cash and receivables) and current liabilities, and assess a company’s ability to meet short-term obligations; Understand solvency, by comparing total liabilities to total assets, and evaluate a company's ability to meet long-term debts; Understand how much of a company’s assets are financed by owners, and understand capital structure.
