Step by step filling
Let's look at the algorithm for creating a balance sheet using the example of Uproshchenets LLC. The organization has been operating since January 1, 2017 and applies the simplified tax system. In the process of preparing financial statements for 2017, the company’s accountant must perform the following actions:
.
Create a balance sheet as of December 31, 2017; account balances are to be posted across balance sheet lines.
Check | Balance | Check | Balance | Check | Balance |
Dt 01 | 599900 | Dt 43 | 85000 | Kt 69 | 80000 |
Kt 02 | 20140 | Dt 50 | 10000 | Kt 70 | 259000 |
Dt 04 | 100340 | Dt 51 | 255000 | Kt 80 | 55000 |
Kt 05 | 3000 | Dt 58 | 150000 | Kt 82 | 15000 |
Dt 10 | 22000 | Kt 60 | 155000 | Kt 84 | 140000 |
Dt 19 | 6000 | Kt 62/advance | 500620 |
Based on the balance sheet balance, determine the asset indicators taking into account the following rules
:
- line 1150 is defined as the difference between the value of non-current assets and the depreciation accrued on them: Dt 01 - Kt 02 = 580 thousand rubles;
- line 1170 includes the amount of intangible assets minus depreciation and the amount of financial investments: (Dt 04 - Kt 05) + Dt 58 = 247 thousand rubles;
- line 1210. It should reflect the cost of the enterprise’s material assets and finished products produced: Dt 10 + Dt 43 = 107 thousand rubles;
- line 1230 contains the amount of VAT paid when purchasing goods, works, services from the supplier: Dt 19 = 6 thousand rubles;
- line 1250 is formed by summing the funds at the cash desk and in current bank accounts: Dt 50 + Dt 51 = 265 thousand rubles;
- line 1600, according to which the book value of current and non-current assets amounted to 1205 thousand rubles;
Determination of indicators of the passive section of the balance sheet:
- line 1370 includes the amount of authorized and reserve capital, as well as the organization’s retained earnings: Kt 80 + Kt 82 + Kt 84 = 210 thousand rubles. (the line code is determined by the indicator that has the largest share in the group of items - retained earnings);
- line 1520 contains the remaining account balances - the amount of accounts payable to suppliers and employees, advances received from customers, as well as obligations to pay insurance premiums: Kt 60 + Kt 62/advances + Kt 69 + Kt 70 = 995 thousand rubles;
Comparison of data in lines 1600 and 1700: the asset and liability of Uproshchenets LLC is equal to 1205 thousand rubles, which means the balance is correct.
Since Uproshchenets LLC was registered in 2021, the balance sheet columns for the previous 2 years will not be filled in. Empty cells should be filled with dashes. Subsequently, when filling out these columns, the data should be taken from previous reporting forms adopted by regulatory authorities.
The simplified balance sheet visually looks like this:

Alpha LLC is a small business and provides legal consulting.
On March 23, 2021, Alpha’s accountant began preparing annual financial statements for 2015. The annual financial statements of a small enterprise consist of a Balance Sheet and a Statement of Financial Results.

(388 thousand rubles + 5036 thousand rubles); – as of December 31, 2014 – 5118 thousand rubles. (638 thousand rubles + 4480 thousand rubles); – as of December 31, 2013 – 2840 thousand rubles.

Temporary suspension of activities does not exempt
the enterprise from the obligation to provide financial statements. Must be provided to Rosstat and the territorial tax office. Otherwise, regulatory authorities have the right to apply sanctions to the debtor in the form of penalties and blocking of a bank account.
It should be noted that the balance cannot be zero even if activities are stopped. At a minimum, it reflects the authorized capital of the organization in lines 1300 of liabilities and 1250 of assets. If for some reason it is not contributed by the founders, then the assets of the balance sheet reflect the receivables of the founders on line 1230. Dashes

Even if they operate under the rules of a special regime, entities are not required to use simplified forms for reporting. In addition to the balance sheet and income statement, they have the right to draw up other documents in the form of appendices and explanations, if this method of reflecting information is more convenient.
How to prepare reports for the simplified tax system in 1C - in this video.
A simplified balance sheet is one of the accounting reports that small businesses file. According to Art. 4 of Law No. 209-FZ of July 24, 2007, enterprises are considered small if the share of third-party organizations in the management company is up to 25%, income does not exceed 400 million rubles, and the average number of employees is less than 100 people. Simplified financial statements are submitted for the calendar year.
The balance sheet (BB) is a snapshot of the balances of key accounting accounts as of a specific date. It does not demonstrate the results of the enterprise for a certain period, but rather shows the state of its affairs at the end of the reporting period. The form itself has three columns for entering indicators: for the reporting period and the two previous ones. Thanks to this form, it is easy to compare the company's performance over the past few years.
Criteria for small businesses
The criteria for small businesses (SMBs) are defined in Article 4 of the Federal Law of July 24, 2007 N 209-FZ “On the development of small and medium-sized businesses in the Russian Federation.” These must be duly registered business societies, business partnerships, production and consumer cooperatives, peasant (farm) households and individual entrepreneurs who meet the following conditions:
- The average number of employees for the previous year was up to 100 people (among SMEs there are micro-enterprises with up to 15 people).
- Tax income excluding VAT for the previous year is not more than 800 million rubles. (for microenterprises - 120 million rubles).
For business companies (JSC and LLC) and partnerships, additional restrictions are established on the types of activities and the structure of the authorized capital. In addition to size and income, at least one of the following requirements must be met:
- shares of joint-stock companies traded on the ORTS are classified as shares of the high-tech (innovative) sector of the economy in the manner established by the Government of the Russian Federation;
- the activity of the organization is to apply (implement) the results of intellectual activity, provided that exclusive rights belong to its founders - budgetary, autonomous scientific institutions;
- organization - participant of the Skolkovo project;
- the company's founders are included in the List of legal entities providing state support for innovation activities.
- the total share of the state, regions, public, religious organizations and charitable foundations in the authorized capital is no more than 25%, and the total share of foreign companies and organizations not related to the SMP in the authorized capital is no more than 49%.

and insurance premiums: new rules from January 1, 2021

Restrictions on the shares of foreign companies and non-SMEs in the authorized capital do not apply to the above-mentioned participants of the Skolkovo project, innovative organizations on the List, as well as companies implementing the results of intellectual activity with the transfer of exclusive rights to their founders - budgetary, autonomous scientific institutions.
The SMP category is determined in accordance with the largest condition established by the average number of employees and income.
For example, the average headcount of the organization was 25 people, and the annual income was 25 million rubles. According to the first criterion, the organization corresponds to the concept of a small enterprise, and according to the second - a microenterprise. Therefore, it is recognized as a small enterprise.
An organization ceases to be an SSE if, for three consecutive years, the actual indicators of the average headcount and income are higher than the limit values (clause 4 of Article 4 of Law No. 209-FZ).
To recognize an SMP organization, you do not need to receive a special document confirming this status. All SMEs are included in a special register on the Federal Tax Service website (https://rmsp.nalog.ru).
Classifying an organization as an SMP gives it many benefits, including in the field of accounting and reporting.

Filling out a simplified balance sheet
The balance sheet consists of two parts: assets and liabilities. The asset indicates all the tangible and intangible property of the enterprise, and the liability indicates the sources of formation of this property. In the simplified form of the BB there are significantly fewer items in the asset and liability. In particular, an asset contains 5 items, and a liability – 6 items. Filling out the balance sheet begins with entering the company’s details into the so-called “header” of the report. Here they indicate:
- OKPO codes, INN;
- full name of the enterprise;
- types of economic activities according to OKVED;
- units;
- location of the enterprise.
When entering indicators into the BB, you should remember that indicators entered into assets and liabilities do not count against each other. In particular, the same account may have credit and debit balances that must be posted to different parts of the balance sheet. Filling out balance sheet items each year must follow the same rules so that the data from each item can be compared and analyzed. To do this, the fundamental points for filling out the report are prescribed in the company’s accounting policy. The BB is considered completed only after the head of the enterprise puts his signature on its paper version.
Completing a simplified balance sheet begins with filling out an asset.
Accounting statements of small enterprises
Simplified reporting for a small business includes a balance sheet and income statement. Their difference from regular reporting is that simplified forms contain only items without detail.
Sample of filling out a balance sheet for small businesses
The balance sheet form of a small enterprise, as well as the balance sheet form 1, consists of assets and liabilities. For each specified type of asset or liability, information is reflected for the reporting year (as of December 31 of the reporting year) and for the two previous years (as of December 31 of these years).
The balance sheet will be drawn up correctly provided that the sum of all assets of the enterprise is equal to the sum of all liabilities. If, based on the results of filling out the balance sheet form, this equality is satisfied, then the report is completed correctly, you can submit it to the relevant regulatory authorities. If the equality is not satisfied, you will have to look for an error.
The header of the balance sheet form for small businesses is filled out as follows, indicating:
- date – the last day of the reporting period, for example, when filling out the balance sheet for 2014, indicate December 31, 2014;
- name of the small business entity;
- details: OKPO, INN, OKVED, OKOPF, OKFS;
- unit of measurement - all numerical values are expressed in thousands of rubles or in millions, if thousands are used, then the OKEI code is indicated - 384, if millions - then 385.
- legal address of a small enterprise.
The balance sheet form for small businesses is filled out as follows:

Other short-term liabilities - the value of short-term liabilities that cannot be attributed to other balance sheet lines, with a maturity not exceeding 12 months. In the event that this is a partial payment for supplies, VAT should be deducted.
Based on the results of the completed lines, the final result for assets and liabilities is calculated, after which these two values are compared.
The balance sheet for small businesses for 2014 can be found at the end of the article.
Sample of filling out a statement of financial results (profit and loss)
For each line of the report, you must indicate data for the reporting year and for the same period of the previous year.
The header of the report is filled out in the same way as the profit and loss report Form 2.
The income statement itself contains the following lines:
Volume of revenue – income from core activities, from which VAT and excise tax have been deducted (export customs duties should not be deducted).
Expenses for core activities - the volume of all expenses for business activities without division into cost, administrative and commercial expenses (deductions and minus indicators must be indicated in parentheses).
Interest required to be paid - the amount of all interest that is required to be paid on loans, credits, minus those that are included in the cost of investment assets.
Other income - rent, you can deduct expenses that relate to this section of income.
Other expenses – expenses in connection with the rental of individual objects or write-off of fixed assets.
Income tax is the volume of current income tax, deferred tax liabilities and assets (the law allows not to calculate deferred taxes, asset liabilities).
Net profit is the total profit or loss (excluding tax).
Regulatory authorities may require attachments to the financial results report:
- on cash flow;
- on changes in the volume of fixed capital;
- other explanations.
If all key indicators are fully disclosed in the balance sheet, no appendices are required. Small businesses submit reports not only to the tax office, but also to statistical authorities. The financial statements of a small enterprise are considered prepared only after they have been signed by the manager on a paper copy (an accountant’s signature is not required). The signature must contain a number.
Requirements for filling out a simplified balance sheet
The annual balance sheet must contain data on the assets and liabilities that the organization has at the end of the reporting year, that is, as of December 31. Additionally, information on previous years is entered into the balance sheet, that is, as of December 31 of last year and as of December 31 of the year before. For example, the balance sheet prepared by an enterprise for 2021 must contain data as of December 31, 2017, December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2015.
All last year's information is taken from last year's reports. And for indicators for the current year, information is taken from sources such as:
- The balance sheet for the organization as a whole for the reporting year;
- Indicators of accrued interest on credits (loans) for the reporting year.
Due date and accountant's responsibility
The deadlines for submitting reports in a simplified form are no different from the deadlines for submitting documentation of such a plan in the usual form. For example, you must submit a simplified form for 2021 before April 2, 2021. If the authorized person is late and does not submit a report to the regulatory authorities on time, then he will bear administrative responsibility. Administrative liability is expressed in the accrual of a fine equal to 1000 rubles.
But it is better to avoid such cases, since additional checks are of no use to the company.

How to correct the balance
In accounting, errors must be corrected according to different rules, depending on whether these errors are significant or not. But small enterprises can correct any errors that were discovered after the approval of the financial statements as insignificant (clause 9 of PBU 22/2010). If such a rule is fixed in the accounting policy, then all errors can be corrected in the current period. That is, in the one in which they were identified (clause 14 of PBU 22/2010).
Possible wording for correcting errors: “The organization corrects significant errors identified after the approval of the annual financial statements by entries for the current period in the relevant accounting accounts in the month in which the error was identified, without retrospective recalculation.”

According to Part 4 of Article 6 of the Federal Law of December 6, 2011 No. 402-FZ “On Accounting”, and in accordance with paragraphs. “a” clause 6 of the Order of the Ministry of Finance of Russia dated 07/02/2010 No. 66n, as well as in accordance with clause 27.1 of the Information of the Ministry of Finance of Russia dated 06/29/2016 No. PZ-3/2016, the decision to use a simplified form of accounting statements is made by each organization independently. In this case, your choice must be recorded in the accounting policy of the organization (clause 4 of PBU 1/2008).
By virtue of the law, simplified financial statements of small businesses for 2021 include only two forms:
- Balance sheet;
- Income statement.
Let us also note that these forms can be filled out in a simplified form by small businesses, incl. and applying the simplified tax system. The simplification lies in the fact that all indicators are given only for groups of articles, without detailing them for specific articles.
Small businesses, incl. and those applying the simplified tax system, in cases where it is necessary to indicate the most important information, without knowledge of which it is impossible to correctly assess both the economic position of the enterprise and its financial success, they independently decide to include in the financial statements a statement of changes in capital and a statement of cash flows , as well as the necessary attachments to the reporting forms (clause “b”, clause 6 of the Order of the Ministry of Finance of Russia dated 07/02/2010 No. 66n; clause 26 of the Information of the Ministry of Finance of Russia dated 06/29/2016 No. PZ-3/2016; Letter of the Federal Tax Service of Russia dated 20.02. 2017 No. SD-4-3/ [email protected] ). Each organization must consolidate its decision on the choice of reporting forms in its accounting policies.
We have decided on the forms of financial statements. But at the same time, there is also tax reporting in the form of a declaration. What is the relationship between accounting and tax reporting indicators?
Let us say right away that there are no clear correlations between the indicators of the financial reporting forms and tax returns, because these indicators are formed according to different rules.
However, in practice, small businesses that use the simplified tax system are often faced with the fact that tax inspectors quite often find discrepancies between certain indicators of accounting and tax reporting and draw the attention of taxpayers to this.
GOOD TO KNOW:
The information in the reporting must be reliable. Accounting (financial) statements must be prepared on the basis of data contained in accounting registers, as well as information determined by federal and industry standards.
The fact is that the tax declaration paid in connection with the application of the simplified tax system was approved by Order of the Federal Tax Service of Russia dated February 26, 2016 No. ММВ-7-3/ [email protected] , and the control ratios to the tax return were sent by letter of the Federal Tax Service of Russia dated May 30, 2016 No. SD-4-3/ [email protected]
Thus, if the object of taxation is “income,” then line codes 110-113 in section 2.1.1 of the declaration “Calculation of tax paid in connection with the application of the simplified taxation system” indicate the amount of income received by the taxpayer on an accrual basis for the entire tax period. And this is the tax base for calculating the “simplified” tax.
If the object of taxation is “income minus expenses”, then according to the line codes 210-213 of section 2.2 of the declaration “Calculation of the tax paid in connection with the application of the simplified taxation system and the minimum tax...” the amounts of income received are also indicated on an accrual basis for the entire tax period.
In this case, the procedure for determining income for tax purposes must comply with the requirements established by Art. Art. 346.15 and 346.17 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation and satisfy the standards prescribed in paragraphs 1 and 2 of Article 248 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation.
We emphasize that the indicated income in the tax accounting of the “simplified” tax system is taken into account on a cash basis, but the income specified in Article 251 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation is not taken into account at all when determining the tax base.
Annual financial statements, including when applying the simplified tax system, are drawn up in accordance with the requirements established by Articles 13, 14 and 15 of the Federal Law of December 6, 2011 No. 402-FZ “On Accounting”.
As a result, as we see, the legislation establishes different approaches to the preparation of tax and accounting reporting, so discrepancies are possible in determining individual indicators reflected in tax and accounting reporting.
GOOD TO KNOW:
One of the important points contributing to the discrepancy in indicators is that, in accordance with PBU 9/99, in accounting, income is recognized on the accrual basis, which is used by the vast majority of “simplified”.
Simplified balance sheet: example of filling
For example, if a company has the most accounts receivable at the end of the reporting period, then code 1230 is entered in the line “Financial and other current assets” in the balance sheet (see example of filling out a balance sheet for a small enterprise below).
Simplified balance sheet for small businesses: instructions for filling out
Let's start with the Balance Sheet Asset. It consists of five sections and the balance sheet currency for the Asset section (line 1600). The Asset reflects all the company’s property, which is divided into current and non-current assets.
The line “Tangible non-current assets” reflects data on fixed assets. These can be buildings, structures, transport, etc. The balance of accounts 01 and 03 is entered here minus the balance of account 02, and expenses for construction in progress (account 08) are also added.
In the line “Intangible, financial and other non-current assets” the value of intangible assets is formed (these include: scientific works, works of art, computer programs, inventions, etc.), deposit balances are reflected (account 55), long-term investments ( account 58), as well as the debit balance of accounts 60, 62, 68, 69, 70, 71, 73, 75 and 76.
Filling out the “Inventories” line of the simplified balance sheet does not differ from the generally accepted filling out of financial statements. Inventories take into account the cost of raw materials and materials not transferred to production, but recorded in the debit of accounts 10, 15, 16, the cost of finished products reflected in the debit of accounts 43 and 45, the amount of costs for work in progress recorded in accounts 20,23,29 and so on.
The line “Cash and cash equivalents” indicates the presence of the company’s funds in Russian rubles and foreign currency, which are available in the accounts or at the cash desk of the enterprise, as well as cash equivalents. The account balance is reflected: 50, 51, 52, 55 (except for the amounts reflected on lines 1170 and 1240), 57.
The line “Financial and other current assets” displays information about short-term financial investments (account 58), accounts receivable claimed for VAT, but not accepted for deduction, the amount of excise taxes and other current assets of the organization.
In the currency of the asset, this is line 1600, indicating the sum of all the indicators discussed above. It reflects all the company's assets.
The liability side of the simplified balance sheet consists of 6 sections and reflects the sources of the company’s funds. Sources come in the form of own funds, they are reflected in the line “Capital and reserves” and include information about the authorized and additional capital, the reserve fund and retained earnings. Data for accounts 80 (minus the debit balance of account 81), 82, 83 and 84 is entered here.
Companies also attract borrowed funds, which are recorded in the line “Long-term borrowed funds.” Here is the debt on long-term loans and borrowings (account 67). Long-term are understood as liabilities with a maturity period of more than 1 year. This line reflects the balance of accounts 60, 62, 68, 69, 70, 71, 73, 75 and 76. And there is also “Short-term borrowed funds”, it reflects the balance of account 66.
The title of the line “Accounts payable” fully reveals its essence. This contains the credit balances of accounts 60, 62, 68, 69, 70, 71, 73, 75 and 76.
The line “Other short-term liabilities” may well not be filled in if all the information has already been indicated.
The line indicator 1700 reflects the total amount of the organization's liabilities. The results of the Asset and Liability must be equal.
Profit and balance
Any enterprise and production must generate revenue. In the BB, revenue is reflected in a special way, since there is no line for it. Revenue is recorded in a special document - a statement of financial results. Such obligations have a balance upon registration.
However, revenue is credited to the BB based on a number of indicators. It is by them that it is determined whether production is profitable and whether the company has revenue. Moreover, revenue is indirectly determined in different sections. If in the first section there was a decrease in intangible assets, then revenue was received.
It is by changes of this kind that one judges whether companies of small, medium and other formats received revenue. In this case, the revenue itself is not reflected in the document. To a person who does not understand accounting, it may seem that there is no revenue in the BB. However, a specialist monitors revenue even by indirect parameters.
After all, the definition is based on basic criteria. This determination is the responsibility of accountants. After all, if production is profitable, then you can and should cooperate with such a company.
Who works for the simplified tax system in 2021
The use of a simplified regime by organizations and individual entrepreneurs is possible if a number of requirements
:
The transition to a simplified tax regime is possible after submitting an application to the Federal Tax Service: within 30 days
from the moment of termination of activity with payment of UTII and until the end of the current year in other cases.
In addition, the income received for the first 3 quarters of the current year should be summed up: they should not exceed a fixed amount of 112,500,000 rubles
.
Until 2021, the limit was calculated as multiplying the deflator coefficient by the income limit established for the previous period. From the beginning of 2021, the deflator is subject to freezing
, and from 2021 it will be
equal to one
.
In case of non-compliance with any requirement, the business entity loses the right to apply the simplified tax system and is obliged to switch to the general taxation regime from the beginning of the quarter in which the violation occurred.
The balance sheet, as one of the reporting forms of the simplified regime, must be submitted to the Federal Tax Service and Rosstat
before April 1 of the following year
.
Failure to submit the reporting form is fraught with administrative liability: a fine of 200 rubles
for an overdue document for the tax authorities and
up to 5,000 rubles
for statistical authorities.
A distinctive feature of the simplified balance sheet is the reflection of financial information enlarged
: Each row contains the aggregate information of an entire group of items. Rounded values are indicated in thousands or millions of rubles.
The balance sheet formed by the simplifier contains two sections
– active and passive articles.
An asset
characterizes the subject’s property, its composition and value.
The passive,
in turn, reveals the sources through which the property was acquired.
An indispensable condition is the equality of assets and liabilities.
The document is formed on an accrual basis as of the reporting date in dynamic comparison with data from similar periods of previous years: the 2021 balance sheet will contain information as of the end of the current year, December 31, 2021 and 2021.
Before drawing up form 0710001, it is necessary to close (reform) accounts 90, 91 and 99 with the formation of a final balance, which will subsequently serve as the basis for the balance sheet.

Simplified accounting and reporting are not related to taxation. It can be conducted by companies both using the simplified tax system and other modes, including the general one. This opportunity is provided to small businesses, non-profit organizations (except for foreign agents) and Skolkovo participants. In the article we will answer the question of whether it is necessary to submit the balance sheet of an LLC under the simplified tax system in 2021, as well as individual entrepreneurs and non-profit organizations.
The simplified requirements for legal entities are stricter: among other things, the value of their depreciable fixed assets on the balance sheet cannot exceed 100 million rubles.
The balance sheet for an LLC using the simplified tax system for 2021 can be compiled according to the simplified scheme provided for by Federal Law No. 402 and Order of the Ministry of Finance dated July 2, 2010 No. 66n. However, the detail of reporting is left to the discretion of the LLC: full and short versions are acceptable. What balance does the LLC submit to the simplified tax system? Read about it below.
Small business reporting: with or without applications?
You are well aware that the classic financial statements of a commercial organization for the year include : - balance sheet; - Profits and Losses Report; — Appendixes to the balance sheet and profit and loss account: — statement of changes in capital; — cash flow statement; — explanations (explanatory note). For companies subject to mandatory audit, an auditor's report is added to this set. But among small businesses there are few of them. Regulations on accounting and reporting No. 34n directly allow small business organizations not to submit appendices to the balance sheet and profit and loss account. The same norm was in the now unapplied Order No. 67n on reporting forms (Clause 85 of the Regulations, approved by Order of the Ministry of Finance of Russia dated July 29, 1998 No. 34n; clause 3 of the Instructions, approved by Order of the Ministry of Finance of Russia dated July 22, 2003 No. 67n). The current Order No. 66n seems to be more strict - applications must be submitted, but they only reflect information that is extremely important for understanding the financial condition of clause 6 of Order of the Ministry of Finance of Russia dated July 2, 2010 No. 66n). So should we present applications based on the results of 2011 or not? What is more important - Regulation No. 34n or Order No. 66n? These questions can be answered without knocking the mentioned documents against each other. Who, besides you, will check the importance of this or that indicator? Who, besides you, can determine how accurately reporting without attachments reflects the financial position of the organization? Consequently, a small enterprise, even at the end of 2011, may not submit appendices to the balance sheet and profit and loss account if it can explain that the statements are reliable without them. To finally solve the problem, we asked a question to a specialist from the Ministry of Finance.
From authoritative sources Igor Robertovich Sukharev, Head of the Accounting and Reporting Methodology Department of the Department for Regulation of State Financial Control, Auditing, Accounting and Reporting of the Ministry of Finance of Russia “A small enterprise must comply with PBU 4/99: if information is needed to understand the financial position of the organization, it must be you have to imagine. Therefore, on the issue of the need for appendices to the balance sheet and profit and loss account, I would give priority to Order No. 66n, since it corresponds to PBU 4/99. And the Regulations approved by Order No. 34n apply only in cases where otherwise is not established by other provisions (Clause 32 of the Regulations, approved by Order of the Ministry of Finance of Russia dated July 29, 1998 No. 34n). The reporting system for small businesses is a set of standards that are applied at the discretion of the organization. Yes, there are simplifications for small businesses. But when generating reports, you must at least explain exactly what simplifications you have applied. Without this information, reporting will be incomprehensible. For example, an income statement prepared on a cash basis must be accompanied by an indication of this fact. In addition, disclosures may be necessary when significant transactions or events occur that are not reflected in the reports provided. For example, at the end of the year the company broke even or even made a loss. But the balance sheet at the end of the year shows huge net assets. Where did they come from? Maybe the participants contributed something. But the reporting user does not know this without explanation. And if you do not report changes in capital, you must at least describe the receipts from participants. That is, in such situations, additional information should be disclosed.”
