    MoneyWeek videos are designed to help you become a better investor, and to give you a better understanding of the markets. They’re aimed at both beginners and more experienced investors.
    In all our videos we explain things in an easy-to-understand way. Some videos are about important ideas and concepts. Others are about investment stories and themes in the news. The emphasis is on clarity and brevity. We don’t want to waste your time with a 20-minute video that could easily be so much shorter.

    Good follow up videos in this series are "what is profit" and "why costs matter" - those give a guided tour of the profit and loss account at an introductory level. Tim.

  • @MatthewDavidAlbritton
    @MatthewDavidAlbritton 12 років тому

    Tim - Since 'contingent liabilities' are not seen on the balance sheet, would they show up on the ledger, nominally speaking?
    Thanks!
    M.

  • @MoneyWeekVideos
    @MoneyWeekVideos  12 років тому

    mdalbrit - no, they wouldn't show on the ledger (nominal or otherwise :) . Contingent liabilities are written up when the financial statements are prepared and a note is added then. The only liabilities that show in the books are ones where the amount and timing is reasonably certain (accounting speak - sorry!). So a liability to pay tax or a trade creditor for example.

  • @simonsmith3030
    @simonsmith3030 5 років тому

    Perhaps someone could explain this to me please: If we start off by considering my personal finances and my personal 'balance sheet' balances, then if I win a million on the lottery - which is definitely an asset - how is this entered as a liability in order to 'balance' things? Is it because I'm the single and only 'shareholder' in me and this would appear on the right?

  • @namanvarsani1
    @namanvarsani1 11 років тому

    if your asset increases in value or decreases in value over x amount of years how is that reflected in the finance given that it has to be balanced?
