A common size balance sheet presents not only the standard information contained in a balance sheet, but also a column that notes the same information as a percentage of the total assets or as a percentage of total liabilities and shareholders' equity.

The balance sheet which is not required by IAS or GAAP but is prepared for financial analysis, mostly used by financial planners or strategic management for decision making, the addition is by adding the percentage to years like Cash is5% of Current Assets, means the calculation of percentages.
