Provisions and contingent liabilities Clause Samples

The 'Provisions and contingent liabilities' clause defines how a party must recognize and disclose obligations that may arise from past events but whose timing or amount is uncertain. In practice, this clause requires the identification and estimation of potential future outflows, such as legal claims or warranty obligations, and mandates their inclusion in financial statements if certain criteria are met. Its core function is to ensure transparency and accuracy in financial reporting by addressing potential risks and obligations that are not yet certain but could impact the parties involved.

Provisions and contingent liabilities. Provisions are recognised for liabilities of uncertain timing or amount when the Target Group has a legal or constructive obligation arising as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made. Where the time value of money is material, provisions are stated at the present value of the expenditures expected to settle the obligation. Where it is not probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required, or the amount cannot be estimated reliably, the obligation is disclosed as a contingent liability, unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote. Possible obligations, whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future events are also disclosed as contingent liabilities unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote.

Provisions and contingent liabilities. Provisions are recognised when the company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses. Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognised even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small. Provisions are measured at the present value of management's best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period. The discount rate used to determine the present value is a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as interest expense. Provisions are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. If it is no longer probable that an outflow of resources would be required to settle the obligation, the provision is reversed. A disclosure for a contingent liability is made when there is a possible obligation or a present obligation that may, but probably will not, require an outflow of resources. When there is a possible obligation or a present obligation in respect of which the likelihood of outflow of resources is remote, no provision or disclosure is made. Contingent assets are not recognised or disclosed in the financial statements.

Provisions and contingent liabilities. 10.1 Provisions shall be recognised when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made. Where the Company expects a provision to be reimbursed, for example for environmental restoration, restructuring costs and legal claims, the reimbursement shall be recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is more probable than not. 10.2 The Company offers customers a warranty against potential losses arising from errors in the accuracy and quality of data provided to the customer. The Company bears the risk of warranty claims itself. The provision shall be reviewed in terms of current outstanding claims, claims history and total HPI Checks carried out to ensure an adequate provision is maintained. The provision at the end of each accounting period is expected to be utilised with the next two years. The provision in the year end balance sheet shall be calculated as 2.5 times the actual claims paid during the calendar year ending on the balance sheet date. 10.3 Contingent liabilities shall be disclosed if there is a possible future obligation as a result of a past event, or if there is a present obligation as a result of a past event but either payment is not probable or the amount cannot be reliably estimated.
