Do you truly understand your company's financial statement? If you have a good handle on its three components - the balance sheet, income statement and statement of cash flows - you should be equipped to make wise business decisions.

On this report, you tally your company's assets, liabilities and net worth to create a snapshot of its financial health.
Net worth or owners' equity is the extent to which assets exceed liabilities. Because the balance sheet must balance, assets must equal liabilities plus net worth. If the value of your liabilities exceeds the value of the assets, your net worth will be negative. There are a number of balance sheet ratios worth monitoring, including:
