Explanation of Solution

Provision:

Provision is an amount which is kept to meet the future liabilities. Provisions are created when the timing or amount to settle the liability are not accurately known.

As per IAS 37, “Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets”, provision should be recognized, if the following three conditions are met:

  • Organization has a present obligation because of one or more past events.
  • There is a probability (more likely than not) that, such obligation would result in outflow of funds from the organization.
  • A provision to meet that obligation can be reliably estimated.
