      Order of Liquidity

      Under this method, a company organizes current and fixed assets in the balance sheet in the order of liquidity and the degree of ease by which it is converts converted into cash.On the asset side, we will write most liquid assets at first i.e. cash in hand, cash at bank and so on and further. In the end, we will write goodwill.

      Liabilities are presented based on the order of urgency of payment. On the liabilities side, we start from short-term liabilities for example outstanding expenses, creditors and bill payable, and so on. In the end, we write capital adjusted with net profit and drawings if any.

      This approach is generally used by sole traders and partnerships firms. The following is the format of Balance sheet in order of liquidity:

       

      Order of Permanence

      Under this method, while preparing a balance sheet by a company assets are listed according to their permanency. Permanent assets are shown at first and then less permanent assets are shown afterward. On the assets side of the balance sheet starts with more fixed and permanent assets i.e. it begins with goodwill, building, machinery, furniture, then investments and ends with cash in hand as the last item.

      The fixed or long-term liabilities are shown first under the order of permanence method, and the current liabilities are listed afterward. On the liabilities side, we start from capital, Reserve and surplus, Long term loans and end with outstanding expenses.

      The following is the format of the Balance sheet in order of permanence:

       

       

      Such order or arrangement of balance sheet items are refer as ‘Marshalling of Balance Sheet’.
