Strategic Balance Sheet

View Template for: Strategic Balance Sheet

The purpose of this section is to complement the financial statements with measures of strategic health that are absent from traditional financial statements.

Two companies with identical financial statements are not necessarily equal. One company could be on the verge of a major upturn, the other could be out of business next year. Financial statements are also subject to (fully legal) manipulation by accounting procedures.

A sample strategic balance sheet is shown on the template web page. It should be customized for your industry.

It is also interesting to rank or assign a weighting factor to some of the strategic balance sheet line items in terms of their relative importance. The discussion within the business unit about which factors are more important than others will help focus attention in the same way that a financial analyst weighs corporate assets differently or weighs corporate liabilities differently.
