Introduction
‘As discussed in Chapter 5 of Volume 1 of the Intermediate
‘Accounting Series and based on the New Conceptual Framework of the
International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), a liability is a present
obligation on an entity to transfer an economic resource as a result of
past event. Chapter 5 of Volume 1 also discusses the recognition,
Ineasurement and presentation of financial liabilities in the financial
statements.
‘This chapter discusses provisions, contingencies and some non-
financial liabilities. Liabilities relating to leases, income taxes, employee
benefits and share options are discussed in separate chapters of this
book.
RECOGNITION
In accordance with the recognition criteria in the Conceptual
Framework, an item of a liability is recognized in the financial
statements ifi
:
:
‘Chapter 1 ~ Provisions, Contingencies and Other Liabilities -
(a) _ it meets the definition of a liability;
(b) it provides useful information that is relevant and
faithfully represented;
(c) ‘the benefits from such information justify the cost of
obtaining the information and
(@) itis measurable.
Financial liabilities are initially recognized at cost, being the fair
value of assets or services received in exchange for liabilities incurred,
or when necessary at the fair value of the liability incurred at the date of
initial recognition. Non-financial liabilities are initially recognized and
arc subsequently measured at an assigned monetary amount, which in
some instances, must be estimated. The use of estimates does not
undermine the reliability of the financial statements. In other
instances, the ‘timing of the settlement such obligations may not be
certain, as in obligations for product warranties, where customers are
allowed to avail of the warranty within a specified period but not
necessarily at a definite date. The uncertainty of the timing and/or the
amount of the obligation does not disqualify the obligation to be
recognized as accounting liabilities.
Provisions Distinguished from Contingent Liabilities
Obligations involving uncertainties are either provisions or
contingent liabilities. When it is probable that an outflow of resources
embodying economic benefits will result from the settlement of an
obligation, but the amount of the outflow could be measured only based
on reasonable estimates, or the timing of the settlement is not definite,
the obligation is recognized as a provision. A provision is a liability
whose existence as of the reporting date is certain (because it meets the
definition of a liability) but is uncertain as to timing or amount. The
amount of the obligation must at least be reliably estimable for it to be
recognized as a liability.
When (a) the existence of the obligation is uncertain as of the
end of the reporting period, or (b) when the amount of the obligation
cannot be reliably estimated, even if it is probable to result in an
outflow of resources embodying cconomic benefits, no recognition of
obligation is required in the financial statements. The item is one of a
contingent liability. In the first instance (a), the item is not qualified to
be recognized as a liability because it does not meet the definition of a
liability, as there is no present obligation yet as of the reporting date. In
the second instance (b), the item is also not recognized even if it meets
the definition of a liability because no reasonable amount can be
assigned to the item, even with the use of reliable estimates,Chapter 1 - Provisions, Contingencies and Other Liabilities
Contingent liabilities must be assessed continually to determine
whether an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits has
become probable, thus meeting the definition of a liabilit If it
becomes probable that an outflow of future economic benefits will be
required for an item previously dealt with as a contingent Ijability, a
provision. is recognized in the financial statements of the period in
which the change in probability occurs, except in the extremely rare
circumstances where no reliable estimate can be made (paragraph 30,
IAS 37),
For example, during 2019, ABC Company gives a guarantee of
certain borrowings of DEF Company, whose financial condition at that
time is sound. During 2020, the financial condition of DEF Company
deteriorates and at June 30, 2020, DEF Company files for protection
from its creditors,
At December 31, 2019, the obligating event is the giving of the
guarantee that gives rise to a legal obligation. However, no outflow of
benefits is probable on this date; thus, no provision is recognized. ‘The
guarantee is disclosed as a continent liability, unless the probability of
any outflow is regarded as remote.
At December 31, 2020, however, it has become probable that an
outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to
settle the obligation, thus the item meets already the definition of a
Liability. On this date, a provision is recognized for the best estimate of
the obligation,
Similarly, provisions should be reviewed at the end of each
reporting period and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. If it
is no longer probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic
benefits will be required to settle the obligation, the provision should be
reversed. The reversal is treated as a change in accounting estimate
and will affect the profit or logs of the current period.
The table overleaf summarizes the distinction between a
provision and a contingent liability,Chapter 1 - Provisions, Contingencies and Other. Liabiliti

MEASUREMENT
Liabilities are initially measured
(1) at amounts established in exchanges (at cost)
(2) __ by estimates of a definitive character when the amount of
the liability cannot be measured more precisely (deemed
cost for provisions)
Measurement of Provisions
+ The amount recognized as a provision should be the best
‘estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation at
the end of the reporting period, considering
‘9 judgment of the management of the enterprise;
o experience of similar transactions; or
© reports from independent experts,
+ Ifa single obligation is being measured, the amount to be
recognized as a liability is the most likely outcome.
+ Where the amount of the obligation is still uncertain as of the
end of the reporting period, but the obligation is settled
Subsequently before the issuance of the financial statements, the
amount shown in the statement of financial position is the
amount actually settled subsequently.!
Chapter 1 - Provisions, Contingencies and Other Liabilities
Case 1 In September 2020, Howell filed a suit against Blue
+ Where the provision being measured involves a large population
OL items, the obligation is estimated by weighting all possible
Gutcomes by theit associated possibilities (statistical method
Called “expected value’). Where there is a continuous range of
possible outcomes, and each point in that range is as likely as
Eny other, the midpoint of the range is used
+ Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the
amount of a provision should be the present value of the
expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation.
+ Where some or all of the expenditure required to settle a
provision is expected to be reimbursed by another party, the
Teimbursement should be recognized when, and only when, it is
virtually certain that reimbursement will be received if the
enterprise settles the obligation, The reimbursement, if virtually
certain, should be treated as a separate assct. The amount
recognized for the reimbursement should not exceed the amount
of the provision,
‘The following illustrates the principles discussed:
Company, alleging violation of patent rights and it is
seeking payment for damages of 7,000,000. Blue
disclaims the charges and the legal counsel advises that as
of the date of the issuance of Blue Company's financial
‘Statements, it is probable that the enterprise will not be
‘found liable.
“No. provision is recognized, because based on the
evidence available as of the financial statement date,
there is no obligation as a result of past events. The
matter is disclosed as a contingent liability, unless the
probability of any outflow is regarded as remote.
Case 2. ‘ABC Company operates in a city where there is no
environmental legislation. However, the company has a
widely published policy in which it undertakes to clean up
dail contamination it causes. As of the date of the issuance
of its 2020 financial statements, a reasonable estimate of
the cost of this clean up related to 2020 operations is
‘2,000,000.
A provision is recognized for the estimated amount of the
costs of the clean-up, which is P2,000,000. The
obligating event is one of a constructive obligation. The

As a result of an uninsured accident during the year 2020,
personal injury suit for P3,000,000 has been filed against
XYZ Company. It is the judgment of the company’s legal
counsel that an unfavorable verdict will result in a loss
ranging from 1,800,000 to P2,800,000, The lawyer
believes that the most reasonable estimate is P2,200,000.
A provision is recognized for the best estimate of the
obligation. The best estimate is the most likely outcome
which is P2,200,000. The entry for the provision is
Loss from Accident 2,200,000
Provision for Damage 100,000
Additional possible obligation of P600,000 (the difference
between the recorded amount of P2,200,000 and the
highest in the range of estimated amounts of P2,800,000)
is to be disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.
GHI Company sells goods with a warranty under which
customers are covered for the cost of any manufacturing
defects that become apparent within the first year after
Purchase. If minor defects were detected in ail products
sold, repair costs of P2 million would result. If major
defects were detected in all products sold, repair costs of
PS million would result. The enterprise’s past experience
and future expectations indicate that 60% of the goods sold
have no defects, 30% of the goods sold have minor defects,
and 10% of the goods sold have major defects.
It is probable that the sale of defective merchandise will
result in an outflow of economic benefits, Thus, the sale
created an obligation. The best estimate of the obligation
is the “expected value of the outcome,” which is derived
by weighting all possible outcomes by their associated
probabilities. Thus, the provision shall be measured as
follows:
No defects PO x 60% P 0
Minor defects P2M x 30% 600,000

Review of the Amount Previously Recognized as Provision
Case 4
If based on subsequent review of the amount of the provision,
there is a need to adjust the previously recorded amount, the
adjustment is treated as a change in accounting estimate and would
affect profit or loss of the current year. Thus, if based on the review of
the provision, the amount needs to be decreased, the entry in a
subsequent reporting period is to debit the provision and credit an
appropriate expense, loss or in some cases, an income account.
If at the end of the reporting period, it is no longer probable that
an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, the
provision previously recognized should be reversed.90,000

Accrued Liabilities
Accrued liabilities consist of obligations for expenses incurred on
or before the end of the reporting period but payable at a later date,
Accrued liabilities include those payables to specific persons and
determinable with reasonable accuracy. They also include provisions,
Common examples of liabilities of this nature are accrued salaries,
accrued interests, accrued rentals, and accrued taxes. An accrued
liability is taken up as an adjustment at year-end by charging an
expense account and crediting an accrued liability account,
Liability for Bonuses
As incentives to officers and managers, many companies
‘ablish a bonus agreement, with the bonus usually payable shortly
after the end of the year. The amount of bonus may be based on the
amount of revenue or profit of the enterprise. This bonus is, in effect,
Part of salaries or compensation expense and is reported as an
Operating expense of the company. The bonus, if unpaid at year-end,
Should be accrued by debiting Compensation Expense (or Bonus
Expense) and crediting Bonus Payable. The amount of bonus, if based
on profit, is computed using different possible formulas.
To illustrate, assume the following data for ABC Corporation:
Profit before deducting bonus (B) and income tax (T) is
2,000,000. Bonus rate is 10% and income tax rate is 30%.
Case 1
Boniis is based on profit before deducting bonus and income
10 x 2,000,000 = 200,000

Bonus is based on profit after deducting bonus but before
deducting income tax

200,000 - .10B

CONTINGENT ASSETS
A contingent asset is a possible asset that arises from past
events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence oF
non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly
within the control of the enterprise (paragraph 10, IAS 37). An
example is a claim that an enterprise is pursuing through legal
processes, where the outcome is uncertain.
Contingent assets are not recognized in the financial statements
since this may result in the recognition of income that may never be
realized (paragraph 33, IAS 37). They are continuously assessed to
ensure that developments are appropriately reflected in the financial
statements. Where the inflow of economic benefits is probable, the
contingent asset is disclosed. However, when the realization of income:
is virtually certain, the related asset is not a contingency anymore and
its recognition is appropriate.
DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS
For each class of provision, an entity should disclose
(paragraphs 84 and 85, IAS 37):
