[M/S -14] -The Balance Sheet
There are no federal tax requirements for maintaining a Balance Sheet. It is a good general business practice to create a Balance Sheet at the end of each fiscal year. Believe it or not, it’s very easy to create a balance sheet that would result in the same exact Trial Balance positions if generating monthly financial statements in QuickBooks. Unlike the income statement, which is a “period statement,” the balance sheet is a “perpetual statement.” There are only two financial statements that consume all the accounts within the accounts included in the trial balance. You may have seen references to a third statement called the cash flow statement which only represents a calculation formatted to display the utilization of cash utilizing every account included in the trial balance.
