Objective of the workpaper
Record the grant-date fair value, the expected total cost at the closing date (fair value × number of instruments expected to vest), the elapsed share of the vesting period and the cumulative expense already recognised. Compute the cumulative expense at the closing date, then the expense of the period as the difference from the cumulative expense already recognised: it is negative when the revision of the expected number calls for a reversal. Reconcile the closing reserve with the ledger reserve. The total cost, the elapsed share and the numbers are case data; the grant-date fair value is never revised.

Judgments: vesting period and number of instruments expected

Vesting period retained
JudgmentRequired
Vesting period confirmed
Vesting period confirmed / Vesting period revised / Not applicable
Professional judgment: the vesting period runs from the grant date to the date on which all the vesting conditions are met; its length is an estimate of the case when a performance condition determines it.
Rationale: grant date, date on which the service and performance conditions end

Estimate of the number of instruments expected
JudgmentRequired
Estimate revised downward
Best estimate unchanged / Estimate revised upward / Estimate revised downward / Actual number known at the vesting date / Not applicable
Professional judgment: the expected number is the best estimate of the entity at the closing date; only a service or non-market performance condition changes it.
Rationale: leavers observed and expected, achievement of the non-market performance condition
