I was an Education Major (instructing), so I didn't get anything on monetary explanations "FSs". When I began as a surety bond endorsing student, I understood that I had no clue what a Balance Sheet was - yet I learned.

To be finished, each money related articulation must incorporate at the base:

1) Balance Sheet 

2) Profit and Loss Statement
