What is Balance Sheet Equation?
The Balance Sheet Equation, also referred to as the Accounting Equation or Fundamental Accounting Equation, is a core concept in accounting. It asserts that the total value of assets is equivalent to the combined value of liabilities and owner’s equity. Expressed as Assets = Liabilities + Owner’s Equity, this equation serves as the basis for double-entry bookkeeping. It offers a snapshot of a company’s financial status, demonstrating how its assets are funded through external obligations (liabilities) and internal investments (owner’s equity).
