Using national account data, we define corporate balance sheet adjustment episode as periods during which major increases in non-financial corporations” net lending/borrowing are experienced. An analysis of such episodes in certain European countries and a more systematic exploration of a sample of 30 other countries, show that corporate balance sheet adjustment tends to be long lasting and associated with significant effects on current accounts, wages and investment. Adjustment episodes lead to significant changes in corporate balance sheets ratios with a build-up of liquidity and a reduction of leverage. The adjustment is generally achieved by reducing investment and increasing savings on the back of a falling wage share. A panel economic exercise shows that balance sheet adjustment periods are triggered by macroeconomic downturns as well as balance sheet stress due to high debt, low liquidity and negative equity price shocks.
There is now ample evidence that deep economic crises are associated with stress in public and private sector balance sheets and followed by protracted periods of balance sheet adjustment. However, while economists have recently spent much time assessing sovereign debt and the financial health of banks, the balance sheets of non-financial corporations have been subject to less scrutiny.

Corporate Restructuring – Would Court Lift Veil? Once a transaction between a holding company and its subsidiaries, is found to be fraudulent or sham and against the interests of shareholders, investors, parties to contract or designed to evade taxes, the court is entitled to lift the corporate veil and examine the substance of the transaction. The doctrine of “Lifting the corporate veil” is readily applied in cases coming within the purview of Company Law, Law of Contract and Law of Taxation. Once a transaction is shown to be fraudulent, sham, circuitous, or a device designed to defeat the interests of the shareholders, investors, parties to the contract and also for tax evasion, the Court can lift the corporate veil and examine the substance of the transaction said the Supreme Court in Vodafone International Holdings B.V. v. Union of India & Anr [2012(1) Comp LJ 225 (SC)]
Corporate Veil is required to be lifted because a company has no mind or body of its own and therefore, it has to rely on human agencies to be formed and to act. There may be circumstances that culpable human agencies are trying to do something in colorable manner. A human being might be trying to do something in the shade of corporate veil what he cannot do himself as an individual. By doing all the above, he might be trying to cheat the public in general and be infringing their rights.
