What is another word for write downs?
Pronunciation: [ɹˈa͡ɪt dˈa͡ʊnz] (IPA) 
Write downs can be referred to as numerous other terms, including provisions, impairments, write-offs, and adjustments. Provisions are generally made for potential future expenses or losses, while impairments refer to the loss of value of an asset that has already been recognized. Write-offs, on the other hand, typically involve canceling out a debt or expense that is unlikely to be paid or is no longer necessary. Adjustments are sometimes used as a broader term to encompass both write downs and write-ups, which are increases in the value of an asset. All of these terms can be useful in conveying important financial information to stakeholders and investors.
