A liability account is money owed by a company. Such as Accounts Payable and Notes Payable.A transaction that would increase a liability account is if you purchased an item on account. This would increase either the Account Payable or Note Payable accounts.A transaction that would decrease these are actual payments you make to the person/company you owe, hence lowering the balance of how much is owed.For example, I purchase a truck costing $15,000, that transaction has increased my liability in notes payable.
