    A contingent liability should be disclosed by note if it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits to settle it will be required, with no provision being made.

    May I know why this statement is wrong? I though a provision should be recognized only when it is probable and the amount can be estimated.

    The statement is wrong, because if it is probable then we do recognise it.
