Hi sir,
I have trouble understanding the reason why the two conditions belong to provision as followed.
1 A company is leasing an office building for which it has no further use. However , it is tied into the lease for another year.
2 A company is closing down a division . The Board has prepared detailed closure plans which have been communicated to customers and employees.
Ask the Tutor ACCA FR
provision
In the first case, the company has a definite obligation - no question! So need to provide for a further year's rent UNLESS there is a very good chance that the company may be able to sub-let
There is a definite obligation - they have announced the closure and raised in the minds of those affected the valid expectation that the closure will go ahead
