58 BARBADOS PUBLIC WORKERS’ CO-OPERATIVE CREDIT UNION LIMITED | SEPARATE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2022 BARBADOS PUBLIC WORKERS' CO-OPERATIVE CREDIT UNION LIMITED Notes to the Separate Financial Statements For the year ended March 31, 2022 (Expressed in Barbados dollars) 30 2. Accounting Policies, continued (r) Loan commitments ‘Loan commitments’ are firm commitments to provide credit under pre-specified terms and conditions. Loan commitments issued are measured at the sum of (i) the loss allowance determined in accordance with IFRS 9 and (ii) the amount of any fees received, less, if the commitment is unlikely to result in a specific lending arrangement, the cumulative amount of income recognised. Derecognition policies for financial assets [see Note 2(d)] are applied to loan commitments issued and held. Liabilities arising from loan commitments are included within “other liabilities” on the statement of financial position. (s) Provisions, contingent assets and contingent liabilities Provisions for legal disputes or other claims are recognised when the Credit Union has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic resources will be required from the Credit Union and amounts can be estimated reliably. Timing or amount of the outflow may still be uncertain. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses. Provisions are measured at the estimated expenditure required to settle the present obligation, based on the most reliable evidence available at the reporting date, including the risks and uncertainties associated with the present obligation. Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. Provisions are discounted to their present values, where the time value of money is material. Any reimbursement that the Credit Union is virtually certain to collect from a third party with respect to the obligation is recognised as a separate asset. However, this asset may not exceed the amount of the related provision. In those cases where the possible outflow of economic resources as a result of present obligations is considered improbable or remote, no liability is recognised. Such situations are disclosed as contingent liabilities unless the outflow of resource is remote.
