The difference between profit and loss account and balance sheet


One of the three financial statements that companies provide on a regular basis is a balance sheet. Another is a profit and loss (P&L) statement. These statements give creditors, market analysts, and investors the means of evaluating the financial strength and growth potential of a company. The third financial statement is called the cash-flow statement.
