p 183 MISC BERHAD - Annual Report 2014 2. Significant accounting policies (cont’d.) 2.3 Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d.) (s) Provisions Provisions are recognised when all of the following conditions have been satisfied: - the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event; - it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation; and - a reliable estimate of the amount can be made. Provisions are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the accretion in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost. Possible obligations whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future events not wholly within the control of the Group are not recognised in the financial statements but are disclosed as contingent liabilities, unless the possibility of an outflow of economic resources is considered remote. Provision for warranty is made based on service histories to cover the estimated liability that may arise during the warranty period. Any surplus provision will be written back at the end of the warranty period, while additional provision is made as and when necessary. (t) Employee benefits (i) Short term benefits Wages, salaries, bonuses and social security contributions are recognised as an expense in the period in which the associated services are rendered by employees. Short term accumulating compensated absences such as paid annual leave are recognised when services are rendered by employees that increase their entitlement to future compensated absences. Short term nonaccumulating compensated absences such as sick leave are recognised when the absences occur.
