Types of Financial Statements
Read the “Types of Financial Statements” section of Introduction to Financial Accounting
Explain the 4 types with examples:
Statement of Financial Position
Statement of Financial Position, also known as the Balance Sheet, presents the financial position of an entity at a given date. It is comprised of the following three elements:
? Assets: Something a business owns or controls (e.g. cash, inventory, plant and machinery, etc)
? Liabilities: Something a business owes to someone (e.g. creditors, bank loans, etc)
? Equity: What the business owes to its owners. This represents the amount of capital that remains in the business after its assets are used to pay off its outstanding liabilities. Equity therefore represents the difference between the assets and liabilities.

2. Income Statement
Income Statement, also known as the Profit and Loss Statement, reports the company’s financial performance in terms of net profit or loss over a specified period. Income Statement is composed of the following two elements:
? Income: What the business has earned over a period (e.g. sales revenue, dividend income, etc)
? Expense: The cost incurred by the business over a period (e.g. salaries and wages, depreciation, rental charges, etc)
Net profit or loss is arrived by deducting expenses from income.

4. Statement of Changes in Equity

? Net Profit or loss during the period as reported in the income statement
? Share capital issued or repaid during the period
? Dividend payments
? Gains or losses recognized directly in equity (e.g. revaluation surpluses)
