Understanding of a firm's actual and contingent liabilities associated with impaired assets that have the potential for creating operational, regulatory, and/or third party liabilities is crucial to the assessment of the total risk that an acquiring, divesting, or merging entity may assume.

Such liabilities may also affect corporate disclosure statements, Security and Exchange (SEC) filings, and accrual of the liabilities. MDSA personnel understand the guidelines established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, Environmental Remediation Liabilities Statement Position 96-1 and we will ensure that they are met.
