why balance sheet should tally

Answer Posted / vks

A balance sheet is a quantitative summary of a company’s
financial condition at a specific point in time, including
assets, liabilities and net worth. The first part of a
balance sheet shows all the productive assets a company
owns, and the second part shows all the financing methods
(such as liabilities and shareholders’ equity). Also called
statement of condition because it shows the position of all
the assets & liabilities of a company at a specific day.
Therefore, both the side of balance sheet must get tallied
i.e. assets equals to liabilities at any point of time.
