You are a Financial Controller at BCD and are in the process of preparing the year-end financial statements. A member of your finance team has come to see you about her provisions balance at year-end.
She says that the Managing Director has asked her to increase the provisions balance by $1 million overall. She thinks this is because BCD has had a very good year in terms of profit, and the Managing Director wants to put some profit aside to protect against any future reductions in profit. $1 million is material to BCD.
