Explanation:

Stock Splits increase the number of shares a company without actually changing their market capitalization by simply dividing the shares available.

There are a bunch of reasons to do this but one of them is to conserve cash. By splitting stock, managers can conserve cash by not paying dividends but still proving that the company can still pay dividends. The Shareholders getting MORE stock would be the reward.

Since Stock splits don't change the Market Capitalization, they don't have an effect on Equity either and by extension Assets and Liabilities.
