Russell Lyons · Answer 1

Option D Only amounts known with absolute certainty are reported

Explanation:

This is incorrect statement because International Accounting Standard IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets sheds light on the recording of future events that will arise as a result of past events. The standard is useful in estimating future events so saying that the absolutely certain amounts are reported is incorrect.
