To all,
Can any one clarify whether it is necessary for provision for
commission to agents to be made for the premiums not yet received, at
the end of every month.
jay

For any provision, I think you’d first need to look at IAS 37 paragraph 14.
Is there a present obligation as a result of a past event?
Is it probable that there will be an outflow of resources to settle
the obligation?
Can the amount be reasonably estimated?
Whether or not the premiums have been received is not relevant.
Craig

If you recognise an income in the Profit & Loss …

Dear IFRS team,
We provide for early retirement or termination charges. Would it be
right in making the provision for the whole liability
(which could be for 5-10 years) that we know about in the year which
we make that commitment, or should this cost just hit the P&L as and
when it occurs?
Many thanks for your help,
Sheetal

Hi Sheetal
Termination benefits are recognized only when the employer has
demonstrated its commitment to provide the benefits with a formal
detail plan for the dismissal of group of employees, when the employer
has contractually agreed to pay a termination benefit to …

Dear all
Can someone tell me how do you define normal capacity of IAS 2?
In IAS 2, it said that normal capacity is the production expected to
be achieved on average over a number of periods or seasons under
normal circumstances.
I am wondering how to caculate the normail capacity?
ex: one machine can produce 10 finish good in 8 hours, then, the
factory works 8 hours per days and five days per week, so the normal
capacity will be
10 *8*4=320 ?
or the enterprise estimate that they can sell 250 finish goods per
months in normal circumstances. so, …

Dear All,
Can any one give their opinion on the below:
The organization is charging license cancellation fee for each
customer’s license cancellation. What if customer ran away without
canceling license. Now the Organization wants to cancel on their own
and charge license fee and recognize revenue and provide against
doubtful debts. In my opinion no need of license cancellation charged
to customer.
Best Regards,
Hemant

Hi Hemant,The revenue should not be recognized because it is NOT probable that
the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the
entity.License cancellation fee should be classified as a service type
revenue, governed under …

Dear All

employer and in my company it is practice to debit as administration
expense. Employees must has to complete 3 years and if he/she leave

to meet fair presentation of financial reporting standard.
Please suggest appropriate treatment
