Lesser write offs drives more desirable bottom lines

Management is often under pressure to hit earnings targets and executive compensation often is tied directly to earnings of financial peroformance goals

Transparency does not hide or obscure any aspect of the underlying economic events it’s reporting

*They are allowable under GAAP
