Review your firm's financials
Learn how to do the following as an important part of evaluating your firm's financial information:
Review the basic financial situation of your firm
Use the Balance Sheet to review the basic financial position of your company, in a cash or accrual basis.
The report examines the relative relationship between a company's assets, liabilities, and owner's equity as of a specified date.
The report contains subtotals for current and long-term assets and liabilities and owner’s equity accounts. The total assets should always be equal to the total liabilities plus owner’s equity.
Ajera contains two versions of the Balance Sheet:
- Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services 2005, which is viewable over the web
- Financial Statement Designer, which is easier to customize
You may use both versions to look at the financial position of your company in different ways.
