What things do you need before making a balance sheet?
Assets: current assets (incl. cash, accounts receivable, inventory) and non-current assets (intangable, tangable and investment types) which equal total asset. Liabilities: current liabilities (incl. provisions, debt, accounts payable, accruels) and non-current liabilities (incl. long-term debt, payables and provisions) which make up the total liability. If the company is limited liability then owners equity, which includes capital and retained earnings. Total asset less total liability and owners equity should equal zero. That is: TA - (TL + Equity) = 0. Where TA is total asset and TL is total liability. ~MB
