use of estimates the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements in conformity with u.s .
gaap requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities , disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements , and the reported amounts of reserves and expenses .
these estimates and assumptions are based on management's best estimates and judgments .
management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors , including the current economic environment .
management believes its estimates to be reasonable given the current facts available .
aon adjusts such estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate .
illiquid credit markets , volatile equity markets , and foreign currency exchange rate movements increase the uncertainty inherent in such estimates and assumptions .
as future events and their effects cannot be determined , among other factors , with precision , actual results could differ significantly from these estimates .
changes in estimates resulting from continuing changes in the economic environment would , if applicable , be reflected in the financial statements in future periods. .
