Laquidsty. Liquidity reters wainly to a firm's ability to meet its short~ term obligations, while solveicy relates to the longer time span of obligation. Both of these situations are interrelated. An auditor who examines the financial statements of an enterprise with a history of losses and resulting financial Gifficulties and which may even be in default of loan agreement covenants must, ‘at some point, evaluate the enterprise's ability to survive financially. If there is evidence that the ability of the enterprise to continue as a going concern can no longer be safely assumed, the audizcr may have to qualify his or her opinion, Or, in sone cases disclaim en opinion. Insolvency. A business enterprize can be insolvent in the conventional (or equity) sense when it is unable ic pay off its liabilities as they become due. The enterprise is insolvent in the :egal sense when the financial condition is such that the sum of the eatity's debcs is greater than all of such entity’ property at fair valuation. Thus, in the legal sense, an enterprise remains Solvent as long as the fair valve of its assets exceeds its liabilities, even though the enterprise cannot mect its current maturing obligations because of an insufficiency of Jiquid resources. Liguidations.
