    31、ficance and Use4.1 UsesThis guide is intended for use on a voluntarybasis by a reporting entity that provides disclosure in theirfinancial statements regarding environmental liabilities. Thedegree and type of disclosure depends on the scope andobjective of the financial statements. Note the user sho

    32、uld beaware that there may be contractual obligations, court deci-sions, or regulatory directives that may affect the flexibility inuse of this guide.4.2 Principles:4.2.1 The following principles are an integral part of thisguide and are intended to be referred to in resolving anyambiguity or disput

    33、e regarding the interpretation of disclosuresregarding environmental liabilities.4.2.1.1 Uncertainty Not EliminatedAlthough a reportingentity, as of the time when its financial statements are prepared,may hold a certain position with regard to the existence andextent of its environmental liabilities

    34、, there remains uncertaintywith regard to the final resolution of factual, technological,regulatory, legislative, and judicial matters, which could affectits environmental liabilities.4.2.1.2 Disclosure Dependent on CircumstancesNot ev-ery environmental liability warrants the same level of detail in

    35、its disclosure. Disclosure will be guided by the scope andobjective of the financial statement, and accordingly, by themateriality of the environmental liability and the level ofinformation available.E21730724.2.1.3 Comparison with Subsequent DisclosuresSubsequent disclosures that convey different i

    36、nformation re-garding the extent or magnitude of the reporting entitysexposures should not be construed as indicating the initialdisclosures were inappropriate. Disclosures shall be evaluatedon the reasonableness of judgments and inquiries made at thetime and under the circumstances in which they we

    37、re made.Subsequent disclosures should not be considered valid stan-dards to judge the appropriateness of any prior disclosure basedon hindsight, new information, use of developing analyticaltechniques, or other factors. However, information on trendsmay be of value to a user of financial statements.

    38、4.2.1.4 Not ExhaustiveAppropriate disclosure does notnecessarily mean an exhaustive disclosure of the reportingentitys environmental liabilities. There is a point at which thecost of obtaining information or the time required to gather itoutweighs the usefulness of the information and, in fact, mayb

    39、e a material detriment to the orderly preparation of financialstatements and the ability of readers to understand the infor-mation contained therein. However, all relevant and reasonablyascertainable information should be used to determine thecontent of appropriate disclosure for environmental liabi

    40、lities.4.2.1.5 Assessment of RiskAs the reporting entity be-comes aware of an environmental liability or an environmentalcompliance issue, the condition or issue should be evaluated toassess the actual or potential risk to human health andenvironment. This process may be dependent on the regulatorye

    41、nvironment, an understanding of the specifics of the conditionor issue, potential future uses, and asset retirement obligations.For example, guidance on petroleum release sites is providedin Guide E 1739 and additional guidance is provided in EPAOSWER Directive 9610.17. The degree of risk suggests t

    42、heappropriate response actions and should be a factor in the levelof effort devoted to developing the cost and liability estimatesassociated with the environmental condition or the complianceissue.5. Determining Whether a Disclosure is Warranted5.1 Circumstances Associated with Environmental Liabili

    43、-ties:5.1.1 The following are major circumstances that mightgive rise to environmental liabilities that may be subject todisclosure:5.1.1.1 Enforcement of environmental laws or regulationsregarding investigation, clean-up, maintenance of engineeringcontrols and/or land use controls, and other costs.

    44、 Suchcircumstance arises if the EPA, a state agency, or a localgovernment has named the reporting entity a PRP on a site, ora reporting entity is required to perform corrective action underRCRA, or is required to remediate a contaminated propertyunder any other environmental law.5.1.1.2 Contractual

    45、assumption of risk or risk transfer agree-ments. The most familiar forms of risk transfer agreements areinsurance contracts, hold harmless agreements, indemnityagreements, and similar terms within contracts for the transferof property.5.1.1.3 Commencement of litigation or assertion of a claimor asse

    46、ssment by a party alleging legal liability on the part ofthe reporting entity.5.1.1.4 Information is known by the reporting entity thatindicates an environmental liability has been incurred.5.1.1.5 Asset retirement obligations.5.2 Sources of InformationThis guide identifies standardsources that shou

    47、ld be reviewed by a reporting entity toproperly determine if conditions warrant disclosure. Thesesources should be reasonably ascertainable, which is defined asinformation that is (1) publicly available, (2) obtainable fromits source within reasonable time and cost constraints, and (3)practically re

    48、viewable. Such sources may include but are notlimited to the following categories:5.2.1 Current Government Environmental Record SourceAny environmental record source available from a governmentor commercial entity, provided the record is updated inaccordance with the update requirement of Practice E

    49、 1527.These sources include, but are not limited to, the standardenvironmental record sources specified and defined in PracticeE 1527. Current government environmental record sourcesmay identify responsible parties, environmental suits and costs,environmental claims, releases, groundwater contamination,permits, asset retirement obligations, activity and use limita-tions, institutional control and engineering control registries,and other environmental conditions warranting disclosure.Examples of current government environmental record
