    Asbestos Contamination: Governance and Financial Reporting Issues in the Public, Private and Not-for-profit Sectors
    McGregor, W ; Potter, B ; Soderstrom, N ; Stevenson, K (WILEY, 2021-12)
    Abstract We explore implications of asbestos for the measurement and reporting of liabilities, assets and expenses by diverse entities. We argue that entities in both public and private sectors are failing to recognise or appropriately measure liabilities related to asbestos and that the implications of asbestos for assets and expenses in financial statements are rarely reported. While we focus on recognition and measurement implications for Australian entities, we also examine relevant requirements in other jurisdictions and for sustainability reporting.
