        *  A special purpose vehicle/entity is also called a ' bankruptcy- remote entity whose role are limited to the acquisition and financing of specific assets. The  SPV  is normally a subsidiary company with an asset and liability structure and legal status that makes its obligations secure even when the parent company goes bankrupt.

        *  The SPV/E  are normally used to isolate financial risk.

        *    An entity can use a special purpose vehicle /entity to finance a large project without putting the entire firm at risk.

        *    However, the problem is due to accounting loopholes, these vehicles can become a means for Chief financial officers to conceal debit. Normally , it looks like the company do not have a liability when in fact  they do.  Looking at Enron bankruptcy, if things go  wrong, the results can be very bad.
