This format is commonly used in the United States and is based on the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). The exact format may vary depending on the industry, company size, and other factors.

Here are some key changes from the traditional balance sheet format:

• The current and non-current assets and liabilities are separated, which provides a clearer picture of the company's liquidity and solvency.
• The equity section is more detailed, with separate lines for common stock, retained earnings, treasury stock, and accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
• The total liabilities and equity are presented at the bottom of the balance sheet, which provides a quick summary of the company's financial position.

It's worth noting that the balance sheet format may vary depending on the company's specific needs and the industry it operates in. For example, a company in the financial industry may use a different format to present its financial instruments and investments.
