Introduction
• A statement of financial position is a statement of financial position of
a business on a certain date.
• It shows the assets of the business (what business owns) and the
liabilities of a business (what the business owes).
• The assets show how the resources are being used and the liabilities
show where they come from.
Assets
• Assets are divided into two types. These are
1. Non-current assets
2. Current assets
NON CURRENT ASSETS
• These are long-term assets which are obtained for use rather than for
resale.
• These assets help the business earn revenue.
• Examples of non-current assets include land and buildings, machinery,
fixtures and motors.
CURRENT ASSETS
• These are short term assets.
• Because they arise from the normal trading activities of the business
their values are constantly changing.
• These are assets which are either in the form of cash or which can be
turned into cash relatively easily.
• Examples of current assets include inventory, trade receivables, bank
and cash.
Liabilities
• Liabilities are divided into three types. These are
1. Capital
2. Non-current liabilities
3. Current liabilities
Capital
• This represents the owner’s investment in the business and is the
amount owed by the business to the owner.
Non-current liabilities
• These are amounts owed by the business which are not due for
repayment within the next 12 months.
• Examples of non-current liabilities include long-term loan and
mortgage.
Current liabilities
• These are short term liabilities.
• Since current liabilities, like current assets, arise from the normal
trading activities of the business, their values are constantly changing.
• They are amounts owed by the business which are due for repayment
within the next 12 months.
• Examples of current liabilities include trade payables and bank
overdraft.
