    Hi, is this lecture only 15 minutes? It seems as if it was cut short

      It has not been cut short. There is nothing else involved!

    Hello sir,

    Thank you for this lecture. Please, will the provision be deduct from the profit?
    Example: Provision of $100 was made to pay back customers that will return faulty TV.
    My question is will this $100 be deduct from the profit in income statement.

    Thank you.

      Yes – it will be treated just the same way as an accrual is treated.

    Mr Moffat, how do we recognise the contingent asset? Cr accrued income Dr Receivales?

      Yes, that is correct (provided, of course, that is is classed as “virtually certain”) 馃檪
      (although in F3, you are unlikely to be asked for the entry – you will just be tested on the rules as to whether you recognise, disclose as a note, or do nothing 馃檪 )

      If it’s available to put a value on a possible obligation then, yes, that value should be given within the contingent liability note in the Notes to the Financial Statements.

      If it’s not possible to quantify, hen that also should be stated together with an explanation WHY it’s not possible to quantify

      Ok?

        so, the issue and the estimated damage will be disclosed in the financial statement?

      • John Moffat says

        February 21, 2015 at 2:21 pm

        That is true 馃檪

    How do you decide the %., who decides it ? And what happens if someone lies. And say e.g something is 90% certain. But. They record it as 25%. Thank you

      ‘remote’ is when the chance of something happening is very small – less than a 5% chance.

    In test question 2, can you please explain statement 1? Why does the company have to create a provision if only 5% of sales give rise to a warranty claim?

    Log in to Reply
    • John Moffat says

      April 6, 2013 at 8:23 am

      The reason is that it is virtually certain that they will have to pay for some warranty claims.
      (The only relevance of the 5% is that they would probably use this to estimate the amount needed for the provision)

        True – you have to be really careful with the wording of the questions.
