Dr. = 1.2m Provision Cr = 1.2m2) Answer states that no impact of this will be reflected in P/L in this year.My question = Why will there be no impact on P/L. Don’t we recognise any losses/certain cash outflow immediately? September 3, 2021 at 5:43 pm #634191 Kim SmithKeymasterTopics: 132Replies: 8226☆☆☆☆☆If there is no net liability, there is no loss. However, to my mind the “full” answer is:Dr Expense (whatever is appropriate to the nature of the payout) Cr Liability (due to the Clark Co)Dr Insurance receivable Cr Expense (same as debit above)So no SoPL effect.AuthorPostsViewing 2 posts - 1 through 2 (of 2 total)You must be logged in to reply to this topic.Log In Username: Password: Keep me signed in Log In
