Answer:

res ipsa loquitur

Explanation:

In latin it means the thing speaks for itself, a doctrine of law that one is presumed to be negligent if he or she had complete control of whatever caused the injury or situation even though there is no specific evidence of an act of negligence, and without negligence the incident might not have occured. For example While under anesthetic, a patient's nerve in her leg is damaged although it was not part of the surgical procedure, and she is unaware of which of a dozen medical people in the room caused the damage. A proof of negligence on the part of the medical pesonnel must be proven.

Why do you think a company could permit liability accounts to be overstated
xxMikexx [17]

A company could permit asset accounts to be understated when there are measurement errors, accounting errors, and improper implementation of accounting principles and policies.

A company could permit liability accounts to be overstated if liabilities are higher. This might be due to the over-accruing of expenses by the company.

Overstatement of income is more likely. Normally an organization does misstatements to improve profitability.

This is done by either expenses understatement or revenue overstatement.
