Balance sheet


Explanation:
Also known as an Estado de Contabilidad, this is really a balance sheet. This term is used by banks and financial groups in their financial statements published quarterly in Mexico City newspapers. The content found in the "Estado de Contabilidad" and how it is organized is exactly the same as a balance sheet. The assets are listed on the left side, and the liabilities are listed in the upper right hand side and followed by stockholders' equity. The memorandum accounts are found in the center at the very bottom.
Hope this helps.
