Overview: "Assessing the quality of a company’s financial position is a complex process. There is no single financial statement that sets forth all of the quantitative and qualitative information reflecting financial position—you must move beyond the balance sheet and perform further analysis to get a complete picture. Although income statements and cash flow statements are important and do provide information relevant to financial position, the balance sheet is a basic “snapshot” of a company’s financial position at a particular point in time and is a logical starting point for assessing a company’s financial position.The balance sheet delineates the entity’s resource structure, or major classes and amounts of assets, as well as its capital structure, or major classes and amounts of liabilities and equity."
