Incomplete ‘big bath’
“The management would begin writing off every expense and asset they could imagine. This may help them to settle all previous accounting fudging, and, as a result, future expenses are reduced significantly, and naturally earnings increase. In other words, the company is taking a big bath in the worst year so it can wipe its slate clean,” explains T. P. Ghosh in Financial Accounting for Managers, fourth edition.
