IAS 37 — Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets
Questions
Question

Single choiceIntermediatePublished

Question · Provisions, liabilities, obligations and contingencies

All provisions involve some uncertainty. Why, then, does IAS 37 not describe them as "contingent"?

Your answer

ABecause provisions always have a certain amount.

BBecause "contingent" refers only to immaterial amounts.

CBecause the standard reserves "contingent" for unrecognised items whose existence depends on uncertain future events.

DBecause a provision can never be revised.
