A provision is a loss or expense that will definitely occur in the future, but we don't know exactly how much or when the loss/expense will occur.
Usually a business decides (based on past records) that they expect a certain percentage of their debtors (receivables) not to pay them next year.
Let's say it's 5%. If their debtors come to 100,000, then they expect 5,000 to go "bad," and the real (net) debtors in their records will be 95,000 (100,000 - 5,000).
The provision for doubtful debts or bad debts is different to doubtful debts or bad debts. Doubtful debts or bad debts is an expense and has already occurred. The provision is a future loss. A future loss that must be recorded as soon as it becomes likely to occur. This future loss is like owing someone. Sort of. So it is a liability. But a special type of liability.
In other words, doubtful debts or bad debts have already occurred - the debt is bad right now. For example, Joe Shmoe (debtor) owed you 500 and he just told you he is filing for bankruptcy and can't pay anything. So you record the loss (expense account) called doubtful debts or bad debts of 500.
The provision, on the other hand, is for debts that will definitely occur - but in the future. The debts are not bad yet, but we are sure they will be bad. It is an estimate of bad debts in the future.

Yes it is possible to read both groups in 3 months if you are able to do hard work
daily 14hours required and lack of sleep will effects your health
So my advice is prepare group1 well and qualify it and while doing articleship write group 2
All the best for your future

As per Revised Schedule VI, proposed dividend is a non-adjusting event, i.e it has to be disclosed merely in the notes to accounts. But as per AS-4, it happens to be an adjusting event.
As per Revised Schedule VI, proposed dividend has no specific need to be shown under the head provisions, instead a disclosure is required separately as a note. However, as per AS-4, proposed dividend needs adjustment, if proposed or declared after B/s date but before the approval of FS. As it was mentioned in the general instructions of RS VI, requirements of AS will prevail over RS VI. Hence, proposed dividends will have to be provided as per AS-4. You may view it in one angle as proposed dividend is not representing the present obligation in b/s. Hope this helps.
