I am writing this paper today so that we can get to know more about balance sheets. First of all I would like to discuss my pleasure in how one day I would like to be a entrepreneur and open a store that sell sneakers are a business that is in that type of field. So in order to open a store you would need to keep a record of my financial sheets which has my balance statement in my folders as well. Most people say that accountant is the hardest when it comes to running a business. I would say that it might be hard when it comes to dealing with balance sheets I have to say that it’s the hardest to get the numbers accurate. I personally think that if I have to do the balance sheet as well as run the store I might be off on some numbers. And I know when starting a company I have to stay doing the balance sheet because in order to keep this going it’s important to understand that to get the business documents all on the right tracks. I would have to say that facts shows when it comes to doing balance sheets and all other paperwork’s for the company it’s like a project you have to make sure you understand what you are doing and make sure what you is producing is gaining the company money and not losing the company money, I know for a fact that you can’t get every number accurate because it’s some things that are not documented.

Most companies choose a date that most of them can benefit from.
Also a company uses balance sheets to determine the credit for the company and whether or not other companies would like to invest in them. In some companies they say these documents are very important which the head people in companies like for instance the managers may keep this special document in file cabinets in case they need them for a later date. Most companies like to calculate the information so they can format it the right way so they present them just in case it needs to be used in a financial presentation. Other things that have been made like basis of depreciation, stock and the cost of goods sold.
