reflect the current best estimate. If it is no longer probable that the
outflow of resources would be required to settle the obligation, the
provision is reversed.
Contingent assets are not recognised in the financial statements.
However, contingent assets are assessed continually and if it is
virtually cetain that an economic benefit will arise, the asset and
related income are recognised in the period in which the change occurs.
