3. Good to know / Difference final balance I and II
Final balance I: It shows the balance sheet before the appropriation of profit/loss. The final balance I is used to compare different financial years. This gives an overview of completed years and how successful the company has been. It is particularly suitable for individual companies and general partnerships.
Final balance sheet II: This is the presentation of the balance sheet after profit/loss has been posted. Until the end of the year, before the profit/loss is booked, final balance I and II are identical. Profit/loss is thus booked at the end of the current fiscal period (usually 12/31). The final balance II is virtually the same as the opening balance of the next period. In order to be able to display the final balance II, the annual financial statement is first made and profit or loss is booked.
Note: Limited liability companies (LLC) and public limited companies (PLC) usually book their profit/loss after a general meeting in January of the next year, so for them final balance I and II remain identical and there is no distinction. Which of the two columns is then shown is irrelevant.
