Journal Entry for Provisions

A Provision in accounting is generally some set aside profits to be used under specific contingencies. They are the reserves that are being made for specific situations and are to be compulsorily used in those conditions only. A provision is seen as an upcoming liability and should not be treated as savings. Provisions journal entry is passed to show the amount set aside by the firm to meet contingencies.
