2、ilities and contingentassets and that sufficient information is disclosed in the notes to the financialstatements to enable users to understand their nature, timing and amount. Scope 1. This Standard should be applied by all enterprises in accounting for provisions,contingent liabilities and conting
3、ent assets, except: (a) those resulting from financial instruments that are carried at fair value; (b) those resulting from executory contracts, except where the contract is onerous; (c) those arising in insurance enterprises from contracts with policyholders; and (d) those covered by another Intern
4、ational Accounting Standard. 2. This Standard applies to financial instruments (including guarantees) that are notcarried at fair value. 3.

Where another International Accountin
6、g Standard deals with a specific type ofprovision, contingent liability or contingent asset, an enterprise applies that Standardinstead of this Standard. For example, certain types of provisions are also addressed inStandards on: (a) construction contracts (see IAS 11, Construction Contracts); (b) i
7、ncome taxes (see IAS 12, Income Taxes); (c) leases (see IAS 17, Leases).

Some amounts treated

IAS 18, Revenue, identifies thecircumstances in which revenue is recognised and provides practical guidance on thea
9、pplication of the recognition criteria. This Standard does not change the requirementsof IAS 18. 7. This Standard defines provisions as liabilities of uncertain timing or amount. Insome countries the term provision is also used in the context of items such asdepreciation, impairment of assets and do
