Summary Note - Government Grant

Government grants provide assistance from the government to entities in exchange for compliance with conditions related to the entity's operations. There are two types of grants: grants related to assets which require purchase of long-term assets, and grants related to income which are for other purposes. Grants are recognized as income when compliance with conditions is reasonably assured and receipt is expected. Income from grants is recognized over the period of related expenses, asset depreciation, or conditions compliance. Repayment of grants is accounted for depending on if the conditions were met, with repayment first reducing any deferred income and excess recognized as an expense.
