Overview

This Section:

  1. defines and establishes disclosure standards on contingent assets; but
  2. does not include disclosure standards for specific types of contingent assets.

Contingent assets are possible assets arising from existing conditions or situations involving uncertainty. That uncertainty will ultimately be resolved when one or more future events not wholly within the public sector entity's control occurs or fails to occur. Resolution of the uncertainty will confirm the existence or non-existence of an asset.
