Forms of statement of financial position
The format of a statement of financial position is not specified in PAS 1.
In practice, there are two customary forms in presenting the statement of financial position, namely:
a. Report form
This form stets forth the three major sections in a downward sequence of assets, liabilities
and equity.
b. Account form
As the title suggests, the presentation follows that of an account, meaning, the assets are
shown on the left side and the liabilities and equity on the right side of the statement of
financial position.
