It is basically just setting aside money from your current profits to cover an expense you know is coming up later, like taxes or bad debts. Think of it like a business savings jar for a rainy day.

Provision accounting refers to the recognition of estimated future liabilities and/or expenses in financial statements when they are probable and can be reasonably estimated. Typical examples include the cost of warranties, legal claims and restructuring costs, which provide a more accurate financial picture for businesses.

Provision accounting is the practice of recording estimated liabilities or expenses before exact amounts or payment dates are known, ensuring accurate financial reporting and proper expense matching for each period.
