Characteristics of Limited Companies (11) Like a person, a company owns independent capacity 1 to: - enter into business relationships and other legally binding obligations; - sue; and - be sued, until its existence is terminated through a winding up. 14

27 Reserves vs Provisions (1) What is the difference between reserves and provisions? In preparing the financial statements for a company, you may observe that the uses of provisions and reserves are confusing. You may see reserves as an alternative term for provisions and use reserves to describe certain components of shareholders equity, for example: revaluation reserve. Do you know the difference between reserves and provisions? 53 Reserves vs Provisions (2) As defined in HKAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, provisions is a liability 1 of uncertain timing or amount. In accounting, reserves is commonly used to describe any part of shareholders' equity, except for share capital. For example, share premium is a reserve created from shareholders' contributions, i.e. amount paid by shareholders for shares in excess of their par value. Traditionally, reserves is sometimes used instead of term provisions, however such a use is now not consistent with the definition of provisions by HKAS A liability is a present obligation of the enterprise arising from past events, the settlement of which is expected to result in an outflow from the enterprise of resources embodying economic benefits.
