• In a broader sense, provision is nothing, but liability,
and considered an obligation of a business to be met in

with liability, and which is lacking in the case of
provision.
• This means that we are accepting provision and liability
to be similar, but not saying this clearly, but accepting
them as two points on a continuum.
