👉 Malinvestment is a term in accounting that refers to an investment or project where the return on investment (ROI) falls short of its initial cost, making it unprofitable. This can occur due to factors such as poor management, unforeseen expenses, or unexpected market changes. In this context, "malinvestment" typically implies a situation where the financial returns are lower than expected and may require additional resources to correct or mitigate the problem.
