Recognized provision only when:
1. There is a present obligation as a
result of past event.
2. An outflow of economic benefits is
probable.
3. The amount of the obligation can be
estimated reliably.

1. Contract or law
2. Constructive obligation

Measured at the best estimate.
1. Most likely outcome single
obligation
2. Midpoint continuous range of
possible outcomes
3. Weighting of all possible outcomes
involves large population of items
4. Present value effect of time value
of money is material

V. Other measurement considerations
Risk specific to the liability




Expected disposal of assets


Reimbursement







Recognize adjustment:
1. in profit or loss
2. as cost of an asset - if the
amount of provision is originally
recognized as part of the cost of
an asset
3. as a finance cost if provision is
measured at the present value
of the amount required to settle
the obligation

Should be charged only for expenditures
for which the provision is originally
recognized.


Should be reflected either in the
discount rate or in the estimation of the
amount required to settle the obligation
but not both.

Exclude gain from the measurement of
provision

Recognized as an asset when it is
virtually certain that the entity will
receive the reimbursement.
The amount shall not exceed the
amount of provision.
