Balance Sheet
the company
The basic elements of accounting are assets liabilities and capital and they all have meaning. Assets are the resources that a company owns and utilizes for the business. Liabilities are simply obligations or debts that the company owes. Capital on the other hand is the money that is invested in the business in order to generate revenue.
A balance sheet is a financial statement that presents a company's financial position at a specific point in time, detailing its assets, liabilities, and equity. It follows the accounting equation: Assets = Liabilities + Equity, providing a snapshot of what the company owns and owes. Balance sheets are typically prepared at the end of an accounting period, such as quarterly or annually, and are essential for assessing the overall financial health and stability of a business. They are used by stakeholders, including investors and creditors, to make informed decisions.
Nominal Accounts are income statement accounts and include revenue, gain, expense & loss accounts. The balances of these accounts are closed as a rule to a summary account at the end of each fiscal year to determine the net income for the period and are included in retained earnings. The numbers in the nominal accounts will portray the performance or results of operations of a company for a particular period. Real Accounts are balance sheet accounts, which include assets and liabilities. The numbers in these accounts disclose the company's financial position: everything the company owns and owes.

Assets in a financial statement are things of value that a company owns, like cash, inventory, and equipment. Liabilities are debts or obligations that a company owes, such as loans, accounts payable, and accrued expenses.
