A gain contingency refers to a potential financial benefit that may arise from uncertain future events, such as pending litigation or tax disputes. In gain contingency accounting, these potential gains are not recognized in financial statements until they are realized or virtually certain. This approach ensures that financial reporting remains conservative and reliable. Gain contingencies are typically disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.
