Balance sheet: The financial statement that presents a snapshot of the company's financial position (assets, liabilities, and equity) as of a particular date in time. It's called a balance sheet because the things owned by the company (assets) must equal the claims against those assets (liabilities and equity).
On an ideal balance sheet, the total assets should equal the total liabilities plus the total equity. If your numbers fit this formula, the company's books are in balance.
