Summary
A balance sheet and income statement show how a company's assets and liabilities compare. This helps creditors, investors and employees to assess the company's efficiency and debt repayment ability. The document explains how Coca-Cola's assets and liabilities are listed and classified, and how this helps to understand the company's financial health.
Assets and liabilities
Assets are things a company owns that have value. Liabilities are debts that a company owes. A balance sheet lists these. Current assets are those expected to be converted to cash within the next operating cycle.
Order of current assets
Current assets are listed in the order in which they can be expected to be converted to cash. Coca-Cola's current assets include cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and marketable securities. Trade accounts receivable are billed revenue that hasn't been collected yet.
Classification of assets
Assets are classified as current or non-current. Current assets are expected to be converted to cash within the operating cycle. Non-current assets are expected to provide value after the operating cycle. Coca-Cola breaks out its assets into these two main categories.
Liabilities and auditing
Liabilities are listed on the balance sheet. They are debts that the company owes. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 sets rules for financial reporting. Independent auditors check that a company follows these rules. Coca-Cola uses Ernst & Young LLP for this.
