Anything can be faked or adjusted to look good in the AR; if the company wants to or needs to. At least for a while or a year or 2. or even more.
(We just take a look at history.) If not how come we have had famous "Enron (2001), WorldCom (2002), Tyco international (2002), HealthSouth(2003) and the famous Bernie Madoff's Ponzi Scheme(2008). And the just 2008/2009 financial fiasco triggered by banks' sub-prime loan practice re-packaged as CDO derivatives sold to the entire world, from of course US.
Not to mention almost all of the S-CHIPs listed in SGX. too.
Nothing is fool-proof. God bless us all.
Shalom.
