Welcome to introduction to accounting. Preparing for a user's perspective, what is this standard format for a balance sheet? Balance sheet basics. You should already know that the balance sheet is based on the following balance sheet equation: assets equal liabilities plus equity. You should also know that the balance sheet is prepared as of or as at a very specific point in time, such as December 31st x1, just as if you had taken a financial photograph of the business's resources (its assets) and the external claims against the business for those resources by creditors (its liabilities) and investors (its equity). Using what you already know, I hope to help you learn how to prepare a basic comparative classified balance sheet using a standard format.
