Requirement (c): Memorandum.
This memorandum explains the sequence for preparing financial statements and interrelationship of
the owner’s equity statement to the income statement and balance sheet.
1. Income statement: The income statement shows the company’s revenues and expenses for a
period, such as month, quarter or a year. The net income or loss is calculated by subtracting
the expenses from revenues.
2. Interrelationship statement: The three financial statements are interrelated. The net income
or loss from the income statement is added to the owner’s equity at the begging of the period
to arrive at the owner’s equity at the end of the period. Then year-end equity will report on
balance sheet.
The assets, liabilities and owner’s equity on the balance sheet must be balanced. That means, total
assets must be equal with total liabilities and owner’s equity.
