Disclaimer

1. A statement whereby responsibility is rejected. Example: Abel, a certified public accountant, is asked to write up the financial statements of Baker without testing (auditing) the validity of the statements. Abel’s report provides a disclaimer in which he states that he did not examine the financial statements and does not accept responsibility for their accuracy. 2. Renunciation of ownership of property. Example: Because they were no longer profitable, I claimed apartments that had become dilapidated.
