    The company provides a $20 meal for each employee per day as stated in the contract signed by the employees.
    Is this considered a constructive obligation?
    Can the company form a monthly provision for estimated expense for the subsequent month?
    ie.
    Average present employees per day: 75
    Net working days per month: 22

    $20 x 75 x 22 = $33,000

    What makes you think this is only constructive? It’s apparently in the contract of employment (according to your post)

    That makes it a legal obligation

    Why would you need to make a provision? If by the end of the month / year all the meals have been allocated / eaten, why provide?

    On a matching basis, expenses recognised to match the time period to which that expense relates, then …… no provision in my mind

    OK?
