Common examples, of provision are: Product warranties and guarantees, Premiums and coupon obligations, Liability from litigations,
Guarantee of liability of others, Provisions from onerous contacts, Unlawful environment damages
Note: for premiums, expense and liability shall be net cost (cost of prem. + additional processing costs – collections made prior to
distribution if there are any)
*Before accruing liability at year end, consider if all provision/estimated liability are still valid, that is, are still probable to be settled in the
next period (e.g. if warranty, consider warranty period)
REIMBURSEMENT OF PROBABLE LOSES UNDER PAS 37 – these are amounts expected to be received as reimbursement if entity
settles the provisions. Reimbursement shall be accounted for as follows:
1. If the entity has no obligation for the part of the expenditure to be reimbursed, the reimbursable amount shall be deducted against the
losses recognized in the income statement. The liability shall be presented in the balance sheet net of the reimbursable amount.
2. If the obligation for the amount expected to be reimbursed remains with the entity and reimbursement is Virtually Certain, the
reimbursements shall be accrued as an asset (receivable) in the balance sheet any may be offset the losses recognized in the income
statement. The amount recognized for the expected reimbursement should not exceed the liability.
3. If the obligation for the amount expected to be reimbursed remains with the entity and the reimbursement is not virtually certain, the
expected reimbursement is not recognized as an asset. The expected reimbursement may be disclosed.
CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
1. Possible obligation whose existence is to be determined in the future contingent upon the happening of a future event; or

Refinancing: Generally, a currently maturing obligation has to be presented as current liability. A currently maturing obligation may be
presented as a long term liability under refinancing agreement, only if:
1. The company has the prerogative/option/unconditional right to refinancing the liability OR
2. If there is no prerogative but the refinancing agreement was completed before or at the balance sheet date.
Note: Refinancing may be thru: a) extension of maturity date, b) issuance of stocks or bonds The proceeds of which is used to settle
the currently maturing obligation.
Breach of Contract: Generally, if the company breaches a covenant or contract the long-term obligation becomes due and
demandable, thus is presented as long-term only under the following conditions:
1. If the creditor agreed to give the debtor a grace period for at least 12 months after the balance sheet date
AND
2. The said grace period should have been provided on or before the balance sheet date.
BONDS PAYABLE
Bonds Issued at a Discount (Proceed < Face Value; Effective Interest > Nominal Interest)
- Discount is a transaction loss (amount received / proceed is lower than the amount to be paid / face value) to be amortized
over the remaining term of the bonds using the EFFECTIVE INTEREST METHOD.
- The amortization is added to the related expense – INTEREST EXPENSE
Dr : Interest Expense XX
Cr ; discount on bonds payable XX
- as a result of the amortization, the interest expense recognized in the income statement is higher than the interest paid and /
or accrued. The difference is the amount of amortization.
- Correct interest is computed as : (Carrying value of Bonds * Effective interest)
- Nominal interest is computed as : (Face value of Bonds * Nominal interest)
Bonds issued at a Premium (Proceeds > Face Value ; Effective Interest < Nominal Interest)
- premium is a transaction gain (amount received / proceed is higher than the amount to be paid / face value) to be amortized
over the remaining term of the bonds using the EFFECTIVE INTEREST METHOD.
- The amortization is deducted from the related expense – INTEREST EXPENSE
Dr; Premium on Bonds Payable XX
Cr; Interest Expense XX
- as a result of the amortization, the interest expense recognized in the income statement is lower than the interest paid /
accrued. The difference is the amount of amortization.
Bond Issue Costs – are deducted from net cash proceeds, thus in the process are deducted from premium or added to discount on
bonds payable (after which a new effective interest rate shall be computed)
Retirement of Bonds – if bonds are retired prior to their maturity dates, gain or loss shall be recognized in the profit or loss (difference
between the retirement price and updated amortized cost of the bonds).
Accrued Interest – in accounting for bond issuance and retirement, consider inclusion of accrued interest specifically if bonds were
issued or retired in between interest payment dates.
CONVERTIBLE BONDS
1. ISSUANCE – Proceed from the issuance of Convertible Bonds should be allocated between the debt component (bonds
payable) and the equity component (Share Premium form Bond Conversion Privilege)
using the RESIDUAL APPROACH. To wit, the pro-forma entry to record issuance is:
Dr: Cash XX
Dr: Discount on Bonds Payable XX (or)
Cr: Premium on Bonds Payable XX
AP-8
8. Audit Of Liabilities Page 4 of 28
2. CONVERSION – If Convertible bonds are converted into ordinary shares, the carrying value of the bonds (updated
amortized bonds payable) shall be cancelled out. The difference between the carrying value of the bonds and the aggregate
par value of the converted shares shall be credited to share premium account. An allowed alternative is the cancel out the
equity component originally credited to share premium account upon issuance of the bonds. The same shall be added to the
amount credited to the share premium account upon conversion. To wit, the pro-forma entry to the record the conversion is:
Alternative 1 Alternative 2
Dr: Bonds Payable XX Dr: Bonds Payable XX
Dr: Premium on Bonds Payable XX (or) Dr: Sh Prem from Bond Conv. Priv. XX
Cr: Discount on Bonds Payable XX Dr: Premium on Bonds Payable XX (or)
Cr: Ordinary Shares XX Cr: Discount on Bonds Payable XX
Cr: Share Premium XX Cr: Ordinary Shares XX
Cr: Share Premium XX
EARLY RETIREMENT – If Convertible bonds are retired prior to maturity date, the retirement price shall be allocated between the Bonds
and the equity component, consistent with how the original issued price was allocated (Residual Approach). The difference between the
retirement price of the allocated to the debt component and the carrying value of the bonds payable shall be recognized in the income
statement, while the difference between the retirement price allocated to the equity component and the original share premium from
bond conversion privilege shall be credited to share premium account.
Debt restructuring is a situation where the creditor, for economic or legal reasons related to the debtor’s financial difficulties, grants to
the debtor concession that would not otherwise be granted in a normal business relationship.

Relevant extracts from Magic Corporation’s financial statements at 31 December 2011 are as follows:
Current liabilities
Provision for warranties P 405,000
Non-current liabilities
Provision for warranties 270,000
The provision for warranties at 31 December 2011 was calculated using the following assumptions: There was no balance carried
forward from the prior year.
1. In relation to the warranty provision of P675,000 at 31 December 2011, P300,000 was paid out of the provision. Of the amount paid,
P225,000 was products with minor defects and P75,000 was products with major defects, all of which related to amounts that had been
expected to be paid in 2012.
2. In calculating its warranty provision for 31 December 2012, Magic made the following adjustments to the assumptions used for the
prior year:

8. Audit Of Liabilities Page 11 of 28
3. Magic determined that part of its plant and equipment needed an overhaul – the conveyer belt on one of its machines would need to
be replaced in about December 2013 at an estimated cost of P500,000. The carrying amount of the conveyer belt at 31 December 2011
was P280,000. Its original cost was P400,000.
4. Magic was unsuccessful in its defense of the peanut allergy case and was ordered to pay P2,000,000 to the plaintiffs. As at 31
December 2012 Magic had paid P1,500,000.
5. Magic commenced litigation against one of its advisers for negligent advise given on the original installation of the conveyers belt
referred to in (4) above. In October 2012 the court found in favor of Magic. The hearing for damages had not been scheduled as at the
date the financial statements for 2012 were authorized for issue. Magic estimated that it would receive about P500,000.
6. Magic signed an agreement with Choko Bank to the effect that Magic would guarantee a loan made by Choko Bank to Magic’s
subsidiary, UN Ltd. UN’s Ltd. Loan with Choko Bnak was P3,000,000 as at 31 December 2012. UN Ltd. Was in a strong financial
position at 31 December 2012.

Notes:
1. The expected overhaul is not a provision, as the entity has no present
obligation to conduct the overhaul. Rather, it is evidence that the
conveyer belt’s useful life has been shortened.
2 . The unpaid amount of P500,000 owing as a result of the peanut allergy case
should be included as part of trade and other payables as there is no uncertainty
regarding timing or amount of settlement and hence it is not a provision.
3. The entity's guarantee of the loan made by Choko Bank to UN Ltd
would be disclosed as a contingent liability rather than recorded as a provision
because UN Ltd was in a strong financial position at 31 December 2011
and therefore whilst the entity has a present obligation under the guarantee,
it is not probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle
the obligation.
