CHAPTER 13

can’t be made, and the extent of any exposure beyond the amount accrued.

Asset Retirement Obligations –
AROs

Contingencies–ASPE

Non-Financial and Current Liabilities

Loss can be reasonably estimated?

Recognize the obligation associated with the retirement of a long-lived asset in the period the obligation is incurred. Under IFRS, recognize costs of both legal and constructive obligations; under ASPE, legal obligations only. Discount the future costs of the obligation to determine the present amount required. Debit the capital asset for the present value of the ARO and credit a liability in the same amount. Amortize the ARO cost to expense over the related asset’s useful life and accrue interest on the liability each period.
Under IFRS, as the ARO and costs increase due to further damage to the site from production activities, increase the obligation and add the incremental costs caused by production to inventory as production overhead costs. For ASPE, add these additional costs to both the ARO and the capital asset account, adjusting the future depreciation amounts.

Contingencies and Uncertain
Commitments
Under IFRS, provisions are required for situations like lawsuits if the amount can be reliably measured and if a confirming future event is “more likely than not” to occur. Use expected values to measure the liability.
Disclose the financial effect of the uncertain amounts, the uncertainties related to the outflows, and whether any reimbursement is possible.
Under ASPE, accrue a contingent loss only if it is
“likely” a future confirming event will occur and the loss amount can be reasonably estimated. If there is a range of possible loss amounts and no particular amount is better than another, accrue the bottom of the range. If one amount is a better estimate than the others, accrue that amount. Disclose the nature of the contingency, estimated amount of the contingent loss or that an estimate

*Disclose the nature of the contingency and either an estimate of the amount or the fact that an estimate cannot be made. Note that IFRS requirements are similar, but use the term "probable" which is a lower threshold than "likely" as used in ASPE.
