G'day Rahim Jahar, Thank you for your question. A balance sheet can't do anything but balance. It shows the assets, the liabilities (money it owes) and shareholder equity which is the balance of the two. According to Investopedia: "The balance sheet must follow the following formula: Assets = Liabilities + Shareholders' Equity" Ideally, the level of shareholders (or stockholders) equity as compared to liabilities on the right side of the balance sheet is relatively high. A company where assets is equal to liabilities is on the verge of insolvency. Regards
