Assets and liabilities

What are assets and liabilities?

Assets and liabilities Assets represent the assets of a company - everything that belongs to it and brings economic benefit. These assets are shown on the left-hand side of the balance sheet. In contrast, the Liabilities on the right-hand side, how these assets were financed, i.e. the sources of capital. These include equity, liabilities and provisions.

The interplay between assets and liabilities is no coincidence: every asset is backed by a source of capital. The balance sheet thus not only shows what a company owns, but also the relationship between equity and debt financing. This comparison allows a precise analysis of financial stability and provides a basis for decisions on the future direction of the company.
