The Gram Panchayat's Annual Financial Statement is an official document that clearly summarizes all the financial transactions carried out by the panchayat in a financial year. Simply put, it is a complete account of where the panchayat received money from (income/receipts) and what it spent the money on (expenditures) during a year. According to the webpage you are currently looking at, the main five components of an annual financial statement mainly include: Key Components of the Annual Financial Statement: Balance Sheet: A document showing the panchayat's current assets and liabilities.
