    SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) --
    General Motors Corporation
    said late Tuesday it will record a third-quarter non-cash charge of $39 billion because of accounting standards related to its deferred tax assets in the U.S., Canada and Germany. The company said the money is needed to establish a valuation allowance in part to compansate for unanticipated losses at GMAC Financial Services. GM is scheduled to report its third-quarter results on Wednesday.
