Method 1 – Create Format Outline
The balance sheet should start with a heading followed by the company’s name and the date it is being created. This is what it looks like.
Asset

The balance sheet includes assets in the following way.
Liabilities
Liabilities are mainly of two types: Long-term liabilities and current liabilities. Long-term liabilities are the liabilities that are payable beyond 12 months. The current liabilities must be paid within 12 months.
Owner’s Equity
The outline for Owner’s Equity looks like this.
