Guidance on Accounting for Environmental Liabilities
This document provides guidance on the issues surrounding the accounting for the liability for contaminated sites. The accounting for liabilities is independent from decisions surrounding the funding of these liabilities. In other words, the determination of liability amounts should not be influenced by the availability of funding and amounts reported for liability purposes may be different than amounts sought for funding
