* Jim Reid:
For example when an "asset" that the organisation has "owned" for years suddenly appears from out of nowhere on the organisation's balance sheet.
Right now, many organizations are dealing with the reverse problem, that something which has been in the books at certain values has suddenly evaporated (or, more precisely, there is no longer a liquid market which determines its value). At some point, some of these assets will be traded again, and then you've got the same effect you describe -- value coming out of nowhere. -- Florian Weimer <fweimer@bfk.de> BFK edv-consulting GmbH http://www.bfk.de/ Kriegsstraße 100 tel: +49-721-96201-1 D-76133 Karlsruhe fax: +49-721-96201-99
