Exceptions sometimes occur in legal cases lasting longer than one year where a company may have a judgment for money against them. In these cases, the liability may not be current until there is more clarity as to (1) when the case will be judged and (2) what amount is to be requested.
Accrued liabilities are a current liability if they are due within one year.

Accrued liabilities are expenses that a firm has incurred but has not yet paid or recorded in its accounts. These liabilities represent obligations that the company needs to settle in the future, such as wages, taxes, or interest expenses that have accumulated over time. They are typically recorded on the balance sheet under current liabilities, reflecting the company’s short-term financial obligations. Accrued liabilities are important for accurately assessing a company's financial health and cash flow management.
If on the Trial Balance you have for example: 10% Debenture £300 then on the balance sheet you will put on the Non-Current Liabilities Section 10% Debenture £300 and on the Current Liabilities Accrued Interest £30 (£300*10%).
In the Co's Balance Sheet: Interest on Debenture Accrued but not due is to be taken under the head Current Liabilities. Where as Interest on Debenture Accrued and Due is taken under the head Secured Loan.
Accrued liabilities typically have a credit balance. They represent obligations that a company owes but has not yet paid, such as wages, taxes, or interest. When these liabilities are recorded, they increase the total liabilities on the balance sheet, which is reflected as a credit entry.
Accrued expenses are entered as liabilities in the general ledger. Debit expense and credit accrued liability.
To find current liabilities in a company's financial statements, look for items such as accounts payable, short-term loans, accrued expenses, and other obligations that are due within one year. These can typically be found on the balance sheet under the liabilities section.
