8 Provisions & contingent liabilities
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodyingeconomic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. When the Company expects some or all of aprovision to be reimbursed, for example, under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset, but only when the reimbursement is virtuallycertain. The expense relating to a provision is presented in the statement of profit and loss net of any reimbursement.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When
discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
Contingent liability arises when the Company has:
a) a possible obligation that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future eventsnot wholly within the control of the entity; or
b) a present obligation that arises from past events but is not recognised because:
(i) it is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation; or
(ii) the amount of the obligation cannot be measured with sufficient reliability.
Contingent liabilities are not recorded in the financial statement but, rather, are disclosed in the note to the financial statements.
(B) Key accounting estimates
1 Revenue Recognition
Judgement is applied to determine whether revenue should be recognized over time or at a point in time, based on transfer of control. For service contracts, estimates aremade in measuring the stage of completion using either input or output methods.Where the contract includes variable consideration, the Company estimates the amount ofconsideration to which it expects to be entitled. Significant judgement is required to determine whether the variable consideration should be constrained to avoid significantrevenue reversals in the future.
2 Employee Benefit Expenses
Management considers inflation, promotion policy, historical trends, and market trends while determining the salary escalation rate, which directly impacts the projectedbenefit obligations.
3 Taxes
Tax on Income comprises current tax. It is recognised in statement of profit and loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination, or items recognised directly inequity or in other comprehensive income.
Current tax
Tax on income for the current period is determined on the basis on estimated taxable income and tax credits computed in accordance with the provisions of the relevant tax lawsand based on the expected outcome of assessments / appeals. Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to thetaxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date. Management periodicallyevaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax assets are recognised for unused tax credits to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the losses can be utilised. Significantmanagement judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profitstogether with future tax planning strategies.
