A provision shall be recognized as a liability when the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably, an entity has a present obligation due to a past event, and it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation. A legal obligation derives from legislation, other operation of law, or a contract, but not an established pattern of past practice. When a provision arises from a single obligation, the estimated amount should reflect the weighting of all possible outcomes by their associated probabilities.

All of these are required for the recognition of a provision as liability. d. It is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. A legal obligation is an obligation that is derived from all of the following, except a. Other operation of law b. Legislation c. An established pattern of past practice d.
