ADR's and Balance sheet values

International accounting practices allow companies to right up the value of their assets to market value, while US GAAP requires companies to record them at book, or price paid. To me, that seems that it would screw up ROIC. Any thoughts? I saw nothing in the Rule 1 book about that.

Re: ADR's and Balance sheet values

Roci/roic is a non-gaap number. Different people calculate it differently.

Re: ADR's and Balance sheet values

Just seems that they can just write up the values of their assets to "X" amount over their liabilities. I think I'll stay away.
