The liquidation basis of accounting is a specialized accounting method applied when a business is in the process of winding down operations. This approach focuses on valuing assets and liabilities at their net realizable value, reflecting the anticipated proceeds from asset sales and settlement of obligations. The liquidation basis of accounting ensures financial statements accurately represent the entity’s financial position during liquidation.
