Our subject today is the balance sheet, the profit and loss statement commonly referred to as P&L, and what does it all mean?
So every organization, and if you're a public company, you have to publish your balance sheet and your P&L and it has to be audited. But you can do your own balance sheet and P&L.
And a lot of small companies and organizations do not have them audited but have someone in the organization keep track of the numbers. Otherwise, if you don't have a balance sheet, you don't know where you are. And if you don't have a P&L, you don't know where you're going.
So that's the difference between them. One is a snapshot, the balance sheet, and the other is a roadmap of where you're going.
