IAS 37 provides guidance on how to report some of the most uncertain liabilities an entity might encounter. Required: (a) Explain the criteria which must exist before a provision is to be recognised in the financial statements. (5 marks) (b) Explain when a contingent liability exists and describe how it should be treated in the financial statements. (5 marks) (c) Bravo plc has purchased an oil rig. The rig has an estimated useful life of five years, and initial setup costs are €50m, all of which are incurred shortly before the year ending 31 December 2016. Bravo plc adopts a policy of straight-line depreciation and is assuming a residual value of nil in respect of the oil rig asset. Depreciation will be charged for the first time in the year ending 31 December 2017.
