Semi-Finalist Evaluation

Judges'' comments


Companies are valued based on their ability to generate a cash flow stream. Accounting conventions are useful to the extent that they provide a snapshot of a company's ability to generate cash. If accounting rules were changed in a manner that misrepresented the true cash generation capability of a business, investors would stop using them as a basis for valuation. As long as E&P companies can convert fossil fuel reserves into cash, these reserves will be appropriately valued by investors. This is true whether or not the correct value of these reserves is posted on the balance sheet.
