"where assets are what you own, liabilities are what you owe to others, and equity is what you have contributed to the venture."
- where assets are what you own, liabilities are what you owe to others, and equity is what is left.
- It does not have to be a venture. You do not have to contribute anything to gain assets in all cases. GT
would it not be interesting to know, if there is any criminal liability of the auditors? at least some words concerning the civil liability (enron, worldcom etc.) would be welcome for wider audiances as well...
