Study Notes
Definition of Provision
- A provision is a possible obligation arising from a past event.
- It reflects a liability of uncertain timing or amount.
- Distinct from an obligation to transfer funds to another entity.
Recognition of Provision as Liability
- A provision must be recognized as a liability when:
- The amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
- There is probable outflow of resources embodying economic benefits to settle the obligation.
- There exists a present obligation resulting from a past event.
- All the mentioned criteria are necessary for the recognition of a provision as a liability.
Constructive Obligation
- A constructive obligation arises from:
- An entity's actions that accept responsibilities based on past practices, published policies, or current statements.
- The establishment of a valid expectation in other parties that the entity will fulfill these responsibilities.
Event Creating Obligation
