What to Focus On

  • Provision is made for a known liability with uncertain amount.
  • A provision is a charge against profit.
  • It is created even if there is no profit.

  • Provisions help meet future liabilities.
  • They help calculate correct net profit.
  • They help present a true financial position.

  • Reserve is created out of profits.
  • It is an appropriation of profit, not a charge.
  • It reduces divisible profit, not net profit.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

A provision and a reserve are the same because both are amounts set aside from business profits.

A provision is created only when profit exists.

If the amount of a known liability can be calculated exactly, it is still a provision.
