Statement of financial position (balance sheet) – is a statement of financial position that presents the
resources (assets), obligations (liabilities) and equity at a given point in time.
Liabilities – are present obligations of the entity arising from past events, the settlement of which are expected

Equity – is the owners’ residual interest in the assets of an entity that remains after deducting its liabilities.

economic benefits will result from the settlement of a present obligation and the amount at which the settlement
will take place can be measured reliably.
