Balance sheet document profile
Compare stated financial positions.
The Balance sheet profile helps you compare stated financial positions. It belongs to the financial reporting family.
Recognize the source
Point-in-time position, not period income. Capture denomination such as thousands or millions in extraction metadata.
Review the document itself before applying the profile. Similar labels, dates, parties, or amounts can appear in another document type with a different meaning. Use the source context to distinguish them.
Expected fields
Core fields form the profile’s main structure. Recommended and optional fields add supported detail. None of these designations permits guessing a value that is absent or ambiguous.
| Field | Type | Inclusion | Meaning and extraction rule |
|---|---|---|---|
| Entity | text | Core | The source-stated entity for this document and its identified subject. Copy exact source spans for this one scalar field, preserving their order, ownership and qualifications. Ordered spans may continue across segments. Do not synthesize a summary or combine unrelated fields or repeated records; return unresolved when the scalar meaning is ambiguous. |
| As of date | date | Core | The source-stated as of date for this document and its identified subject. Normalize an explicitly stated date only when unambiguous. Do not infer missing day, month, year or timezone. |
| Total assets | number | Core | The source-stated total assets for this document and its identified subject. Use an explicitly stated value with safe numeric normalization only. Preserve its currency, unit, scale and basis in evidence metadata; do not calculate, estimate or combine values. Select the principal current reporting period and identified entity/consolidation scope, not a comparative prior period or another entity. Keep the reported numeric magnitude without multiplying thousands or millions; expose the stated denomination in reporting_denomination. Leave unresolved if selection is ambiguous. |
| Total liabilities | number | Core | The source-stated total liabilities for this document and its identified subject. Use an explicitly stated value with safe numeric normalization only. Preserve its currency, unit, scale and basis in evidence metadata; do not calculate, estimate or combine values. Select the principal current reporting period and identified entity/consolidation scope, not a comparative prior period or another entity. Keep the reported numeric magnitude without multiplying thousands or millions; expose the stated denomination in reporting_denomination. Leave unresolved if selection is ambiguous. |
| Currency | text | Core | The currency explicitly associated with the selected monetary fields. Preserve source representation; do not infer a currency from an ambiguous symbol or company location. Conflicting currencies require separate fields or unresolved values. |
| Total equity | number | Optional | The source-stated total equity for this document and its identified subject. Use an explicitly stated value with safe numeric normalization only. Preserve its currency, unit, scale and basis in evidence metadata; do not calculate, estimate or combine values. Select the principal current reporting period and identified entity/consolidation scope, not a comparative prior period or another entity. Keep the reported numeric magnitude without multiplying thousands or millions; expose the stated denomination in reporting_denomination. Leave unresolved if selection is ambiguous. |
| Reporting basis | text | Optional | The source-stated reporting basis for this document and its identified subject. Copy exact source spans for this one scalar field, preserving their order, ownership and qualifications. Ordered spans may continue across segments. Do not synthesize a summary or combine unrelated fields or repeated records; return unresolved when the scalar meaning is ambiguous. |
| Consolidation scope | text | Optional | The source-stated consolidation scope for this document and its identified subject. Copy exact source spans for this one scalar field, preserving their order, ownership and qualifications. Ordered spans may continue across segments. Do not synthesize a summary or combine unrelated fields or repeated records; return unresolved when the scalar meaning is ambiguous. |
| Reporting denomination | text | Core | The explicitly stated monetary denomination and scale applying to the selected financial figures, such as USD in millions. Do not infer a currency, multiply reported magnitudes or borrow units from a different table. |
Missing, ambiguous, and repeated values
Missing or ambiguous fields remain null with a reason. Null is not zero, false, an empty statement, or proof that a document-wide fact does not exist. Inspect unresolved states and their supporting passages before accepting the table. This document type can contain repeated records such as account lines and comparative periods. The profile uses one row per document; do not compress repeated records into a scalar field or confuse a line value with a document-level total. Additional supported fields can be considered when the extraction experience allows them. Review their definitions and types explicitly; changing a field’s meaning requires a new extraction preview.
Review the result
Select evidence-backed cells and read the retained source. Text should preserve the relevant source spans and qualifications. Numbers and dates must be stated unambiguously and normalized safely; do not calculate unstated values or infer missing units, currency, scale, date parts, or time zones.
Verify the result against the captured document before acceptance. Source support does not independently establish perfect OCR, exhaustive field discovery, or correct domain interpretation.
