    Sir, just say if the present value to decommission and restore a gold mine at the end of a 15 year mine life is $1,000,000.
    Initial entries are:
    Dr PPE $1,000,000
    Cr Liability (end of life cost) $1,000,000

    Over each of these 15 years and as at each balance sheet date, any changes in the future liability, are these changes reported in P & L,
    i.e,
    Dr or Cr P & L with change
    Dr or Cr with change in liab

    or is this accounted for otherwise? Please confirm if correct.

    Hi,

    That is correct, we would DR P/L CR Provision. The expense recognised is through finance costs.

    Thanks
