    The D/E for setting up ANY provision – i.e. to recognise a liability – is:

    Dr Expense (e.g. wages and salaries)
    Cr Provision (e.g. for redundancy settlement

    If a provision has been recognised that should not have been recognised – e.g. it is not “de facto” a liability at the reporting date – expense is overstated – and hence profit understated.

    The correcting journal will be to “write-back” the provision:
    Dr Provision
    Cr Expense
