The Balance Sheet is a critically important report for a company.  It is a record of company’s assets, liabilities and capital & reserves.  It can identify financial strength and capabilities of a business.  In Tally, the Balance Sheet is made of Fixed Assets, Current Assets, Current Liabilities and Capital & Reserves.  

Running the Report

You can run the Balance Sheet in Tally at any time by going to Tools and Reports > General Reports > Balance Sheet > Enter a date > Next.

Understanding the Balance Sheet

The balance sheet is made up of your Fixed Assets, Current Assets, Current Liabilities and Capital & Reserves.  The Fixed Assets + Current Assets less Current Liabilities must equal your Total Capital & Reserves.
