2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)
PROVISIONS
- Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a
past event, it is probable that the Group will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of
the amount of the obligation.
The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation
at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where a
provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present
value of those cash flows.
When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party,
the receivable is recognised as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount of the
receivable can be measured reliably.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
- Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Revenue is
reduced for estimated customer returns, discounts and other similar allowances.
Sale of goods
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when all the following conditions are satisfied:
• the Group has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods;
• the Group retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor
effective control over the goods sold;
• the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
• it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the entity; and
• the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.
