Financial statements
Almost every enterprise maintains accounting records of business activities: cash books are filled out, receipts and debit orders are issued, pay slips are prepared, and so on. The listed documentation refers to primary accounting tools, and financial statements are prepared on their basis, according to the data they contain.
What are financial statements (BA)? These are documents containing general information about the movement of the company’s finances, as well as about its economic, property and business condition at the current moment.
At each enterprise, the BO is formed taking into account the specifics of production or activity. For example, individual entrepreneurs do not keep accounting records at all and are exempt from this type of reporting. In general cases, when financial statements are mentioned, it usually means: the enterprise’s balance sheet and financial performance statement.
Also, the BO may include explanatory notes to these documents, other reports necessary for complete and reliable accounting, for example, a report on the flow of funds and the like.
For companies that are subject to mandatory auditing, the financial statements also include the auditors' opinion, without which the statements are considered invalid (since the head of the enterprise has the right to sign the balance sheet and financial statements only after the audit opinion has been issued).

Balance sheet
A balance sheet is a document that reflects data on all assets and liabilities of an enterprise.
The assets of an enterprise are all products, raw materials, equipment, tools, movable and immovable property that is in its ownership.
Liabilities are the capital and reserves of the organization, as well as liabilities, that is, those funds that were transferred or lent to the company from suppliers, creditor organizations, and so on. It is assumed that these funds entered the balance sheet of the enterprise for the purchase of elements necessary for production or operation and must be returned within the agreed time frame.
The assets and liabilities in the balance sheet must be equal. Large enterprises with extensive and varied activities can attach other reports to the balance sheet that fully disclose its positions; for small enterprises, only a balance sheet and a statement of financial results may be sufficient for reporting, since all comprehensive information about economic activities will be reflected there.
An example of filling out the BO is drawn up according to form No. 1. The form consists of two pages: on one, assets are indicated in a table, on the other, liabilities (including liabilities) are indicated in a table.
The tables must contain data on three parameters: the current reporting period, at the end of the previous reporting period and at the end of the reporting period preceding the previous one. In empty columns you must put dashes, round all amounts to a whole number (taking into account the selected unit of measurement: thousands or millions).
The balance sheet form is filled out in the following order:
- the header of the document is filled out: the date of drawing up the balance sheet, the name and details of the enterprise are indicated;
- the asset table is filled in: non-current assets are indicated (intangible, research and development results, exploration assets, profitable investments in tangible assets, fixed assets, profitable investments in tangible assets, financial investments, deferred tax assets), current assets (all inventories, VAT on acquired assets, accounts receivable, financial investments for a period of at least a year, cash and cash equivalents);
- a table of liabilities is filled out in three sections: capital and reserves, long-term liabilities and short-term liabilities;
- The data on assets and liabilities is reconciled: they must match.
If these amounts do not match, the balance will need to be reconciled and rechecked until the amounts agree.

According to federal laws, some enterprises, for example those engaged in insurance activities, must still provide interim accounting reports.

Instructions for filling
The most frequently requested report forms are:
- balance sheet of the enterprise;
- profit and loss statement of the enterprise.
A balance sheet is a document containing information about the total value of the assets owned by a particular enterprise, as well as its liabilities. According to the data that the document contains, it is possible to determine what property the organization owns and how much debt it has.
The balance sheet is usually prepared at the end of the year, or at the end of the quarter. The balance sheet consists of two parts, called assets and liabilities. Both parts must be equal to each other. An accounting analysis of an enterprise can provide information about the real state of affairs in a particular organization, as well as the prospects for further cooperation with it.
The balance sheet asset consists of two parts:
- non-current assets (long-term investments, equipment, material assets, etc.);
- current assets (cash, raw materials, accounts receivable, etc.).
An asset shows what property and finances a given enterprise has, a liability contains data on the formation of sources of property and finance. The passive consists of three parts:
- capital and reserves (own funds of the organization’s owners);
