貸借対照表とは何か So, What is a balance sheet?
貸借対照表は、財務三表の一つで、企業がある一定期間の財務の健全性、状況を報告するための財務諸表です。A balance sheet is one of the three main financial statements a business creates to report its financial health or position at a paticular date.
企業がある一定期間の貸し借り状況がわかります。
It is like a snapshot you take to show what your company owes and what it owns as a specific month, quatrer, or year.
貸借対照表はビジネスの要約である
A balance sheet summarizes the business:
- Assets (What it owns). 資産(何を保有しているか)
- Liabilities(What it owes). 負債(何を借りているか)
- Shareholders ( owners) equity. (What money is left for the owners)
純資産(返済が不要な資金)
資産の合計額と負債と純資産の合計額は必ず一致します。
It means to show the accounting equation (Assets=Liabilities+shareholders equitiy)in balance, as at a specific date. This basically means that a company's assets are supposed to be equal to shareholders equity plus the company's liabilities. The two sides of the equation must balance.
