11. Balance Sheets  The purpose of a Balance Sheet is to measure the accumulated wealth at a specific point in time. This gives a “snapshot” of the financial position of the organisation, balancing Assets against Capital and Liabilities.  Balance Sheets often show the last 2 years to allow comparison

12. Balance Sheet Formats Balance Sheet can be produced in two different ways: Horizontal Format  This is the easier format to understand, and the type you have already seen. Vertical Format  This is used mainly to communicate to shareholders the size of their investment in a company.

13. Balance Sheets In Horizontal Format This method is the easiest to understand, as the ‘balance’ figure can be seen at once. Balance Sheet Layout (Horizontal Format) Fixed Assets Capital and Reserves + + Current Assets Long-term Liabilities+ Current Liabilities Total Assets Total Claims BALANCE

15. Recording Transactions  In this session we shall examine the effects of transactions on the Balance Sheet  As last week each transaction will have two effects: »One which increases the wealth of the business »One which decreases the wealth of the business  The net effect will be zero.

23. Vertical Format Balance Sheets  Although the Horizontal Format for Balance Sheets is easy to understand, many companies prefer to use the Vertical Format.  This Balance sheet is divided into two parts: »The top part shows the Net Assets of the Company, that is, what the company owns when all debts and loans and outstanding tax bills etc. have been paid off. »The bottom part shows the Shareholders’ Claim; in other words, all the money that is invested in the company through share owning.
