12 February 2009 What Is Provision ?
In Which Condition we Should Create the provision






12 February 2009 As per Accounting Standard 29 on "Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and
Contingent Assets" issued by ICAI:

A provision is a liability which can be measured only by using a
substantial degree of estimation.

A provision should be recognised when:
(a) an enterprise has a present obligation as a result of a past
event;
(b) it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic
benefits will be required to settle the obligation; and
(c) a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
If these conditions are not met, no provision should be recognised.
