Context 2

Context Unusual reporting

Net worth $1,400,000; listed items add up to $1,697,182

Reported net worth: $1,400,000. Household goods + listed assets − listed liabilities = $1,697,182. A difference is normal: net worth also counts assets and debts that aren't listed individually (items under $1,000, credit cards, taxes), and the instructions say subtracting listed liabilities from listed assets won't give an accurate figure in most cases.

What to check
  • No action needed unless other items look off.

What to check
  • Compare with the other candidates in the race.
  • Check that the large assets below are described and valued clearly.
