When are Forms 3, 4 and 6 of the balance sheet prepared?
Forms 3, 4 and 6 of the balance sheet are included in the annual financial statements and are appendices to its main forms (balance sheet and income statement):
- Form 3 - statement of changes in capital;
- Form 4 - cash flow statement;
- Form 6 - report on the intended use of funds.
The application forms, as well as the main forms of accounting, are approved by Order of the Ministry of Finance of Russia “On Forms of Accounting Reports of Organizations” dated July 2, 2010 No. 66n. The same document contains a rule establishing that in a simplified version of reporting, the required forms are a balance sheet, a report on financial results and a report on the intended use of funds, and explanations for them should be drawn up only if absolutely necessary (clause 6).
IMPORTANT! When preparing reports for 2021, keep in mind that accounting forms have changed. Key differences: reporting can only be prepared in thousands of rubles; millions can no longer be used as a unit of measurement. OKVED has been replaced by OKVED 2. For other changes, see here.
Read more about existing balance sheet options in the article “Balance Sheet (Assets and Liabilities, Sections, Types).”
Since the report on the intended use of funds (Form 6) is intended for use when there is a movement of funds for a very specific purpose, it is not always used. Thus, Forms 3, 4 and 6 may not be prepared by persons reporting under the simplified form.
For information about who can use simplified reporting, read the material “Simplified reporting for small businesses” .
But the set of reports generated according to its full version will include forms 3 and 4. In this case, Form 6 and other explanations will be issued if necessary.

In Table 5.2, Overdue Receivables, disclose information on overdue receivables (that is, debts that have expired) as of the reporting date and as of December 31 of the previous two years.

Form 3 balance sheet
Form 3 of the balance sheet is the statement of changes in equity. It contains information about the equity capital of the organization, which includes (clause 66 of the PBU on accounting and accounting, approved by order of the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation dated July 29, 1998 No. 34n):
- authorized (share) capital;
- Extra capital;
- Reserve capital;
- retained earnings;
- other reserves.
In addition, the report reflects information on own shares purchased from shareholders.
Form 3 consists of three sections:
1. Capital movement
This is a table that shows the change in the organization’s capital over 2 years (reporting and previous). It shows how the capital has changed (whether it has increased or decreased) and why the changes have occurred.
It's easy to fill out this section. First you need to indicate the balances as of December 31 of the year preceding the previous one. Then fill in the indicators for the previous year and display the capital balance as of December 31 of the previous year. Next, you need to reflect the movement and balance of capital at the end of the reporting year. Indicators are reflected in the corresponding columns and rows. For example, if there was an increase in additional capital due to a revaluation of property, the amount of the revaluation is reflected in the line “Revaluation of property” (column “Additional capital”).
2. Adjustments due to changes in accounting policies and correction of errors
The title of the section speaks for itself: it contains information about adjustments to the amount of capital caused by changes in accounting policies or associated with the correction of significant errors of previous years identified after the approval of last year’s financial statements. It is advisable to fill it out before section 1, since its data is used to determine the indicators of the first section.
3. Net assets
This contains information about the organization’s net assets for 3 years (the reporting year and the previous 2). The procedure for their calculation is determined by order of the Ministry of Finance of Russia dated August 28, 2014 No. 84n.
Read more about this procedure in the material “A new procedure for calculating net assets has been approved .
Form 3 can be found on our website using the link below:
Form 4 balance sheet
A Form 4 balance sheet is the common name for the cash flow statement. It contains information about the organization's cash flows for the reporting and previous years. Cash flows are detailed in the context of current, investment and financial transactions. For each type of activity, the receipt and expenditure of funds are shown.
At the same time, current operations include operations related to the implementation of ordinary activities. For example, receipts include sales proceeds and rental payments, while payments include payments to suppliers and wages. Investment transactions are those related to the acquisition, creation or disposal of non-current assets.
As cash flows from financial transactions, flows from operations related to attracting financing on a debt or equity basis, leading to a change in the size and structure of the capital and borrowed funds of the organization (credits, borrowings, deposits, etc.) are classified.
The procedure for filling out the report is described in detail in PBU 23/2011 “Cash Flow Report” (approved by Order of the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation dated 02.02.2011 No. 11n).

Form 6 balance sheet
The sixth form of balance sheet is a report on the intended use of funds, which is compiled by non-profit organizations (NPOs) and legal entities receiving any targeted funding.
For NPOs, this report is essentially the main one. In this report they disclose information about the intended use of funds received to support statutory activities. It shows the balance of targeted financing at the beginning of the reporting year, the receipt and expenditure of such funds during the reporting period and their balance at the end of the year.
Form 6, as well as the main reporting forms (balance sheet and financial results report), has 2 design options: full (Appendix 1 to Order No. 66n) and simplified (Appendix 5 to Order No. 66n). The latter may be made up of organizations that have the right to use simplified methods of accounting when preparing reports in a simplified form.
You can download both versions of Form 6 on our website using the links below:
Production costs
The “Production Costs” section is presented in one table, which discloses information on the following lines of the Income Statement:
- line 2120 “Cost of sales”;
- line 2210 “Business expenses”;
- line 2220 “Administrative expenses”.
In the table “Production costs”, disclose information about the composition of costs in the context of their elements (paragraph 12, paragraph 27 of PBU 4/99, paragraph 2, paragraph 22 and paragraph 8 of PBU 10/99). Indicate the cost amounts for two periods: the reporting period and the previous period.
Results
Forms 3, 4 and 6 are appendices to 2 main accounting reporting documents: the balance sheet and the financial results report. Forms 3 (statement of changes in capital) and 4 (statement of cash flows) are mandatory if the main reports are created in their full form. Form 6 (report on the targeted use of funds) is drawn up only if the reporting entity has funds for targeted financing. Just like the 2 main reporting forms, Form 6 can be prepared in a simplified version by an organization that has the right to maintain simplified accounting. For 2021, you must use the new edition of all specified forms.
