BACKGROUND INFORMATION

This CPE session shall cover how provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets are to be reflected in the financial statements of Maltese companies.
Uncertainty is a defining challenge in financial reporting. Nowhere is this more evident than in the realm of provisions and contingencies, where uncertainty is not just a factor but a fundamental principle.
During this session we will cover the basic theoretical principles outlined in IAS 37 ‘Provisions, Contingent Liabilities And Contingent Assets’ and GAPSME Section 17 ‘Provisions And Contingencies’, whilst applying them to several practical scenarios.

SPECIFIC TOPICS TO BE COVERED DURING THE SESSION

• Provisions: recognition, measurement and disclosure considerations.
• Contingencies: recognise, disclose or exclude?
• Special considerations for practical situations such as decommissioning costs, warranties and restructuring
• Recent, current and upcoming developments in relation to provisions and contingencies

Why is the session of relevance to our members?

Reasons for which members and non-members should attend this session may include:

• Pursuing CPE hours.

• Avoiding common pitfalls in this area of financial reporting and thus remaining compliant to IFRS and/or GAPSME and minimising risks.

• Enhancing professional awareness and judgement, and knowing how to act and/or consult other experts, in such situations of uncertainty.

• Understanding in more depth the meaning of the contents of an annual report.

Target Audience

This CPE is relevant for both IFRS and GAPSME preparers.
Accountants, auditors, other finance professionals and accountancy students should find this CPE interesting and relevant.
