Hi Mr John…I can’t find the correct answers to this topic which is easy…So frustrating.
Is this statement true?
Contingent assets and liabilities should not be recognized in the financial statements..January 31, 2016 at 9:19 am #298625No it is not true.
You need to look at the chapter in our free lecture notes on contingent assets and liabilities, together with the lecture that goes with it.
January 31, 2016 at 11:12 am #298714But my practice and revision kit says true…
January 31, 2016 at 1:53 pm #298723Your revision kit is wrong, or you have misread it.
Contingent assets are only recognised if they are virtually certain.
Contingent assets are recognised if they are either virtually certain or are probable.Otherwise they might be disclosed by way of note.
Again, the full provisions of the accounting standard are covered in our lecture notes and the lecture that goes with the notes.
