Balance Sheet
A balance sheet is a financial statement that provides a snapshot of a company's financial position at a specific point in time, showing its assets, liabilities, and equity. It follows the fundamental equation Assets = Liabilities + Equity, helping investors and stakeholders assess the company's financial stability and leverage.

The balance sheet is where interviewers test whether you really understand the statements or just memorized them. Expect to be asked how a single change like buying inventory, taking on debt or writing down an asset flows through all three statements and still leaves the balance sheet balanced. If you just create a few or recreate from scratch then play with them you'll be fine.
