There are many forms of liabilities, they should be recognised when they are able to be reliably measured and are certain. They can be categorized into Current and Non-Current depending on the operating cycle of the business (typically anything beyond 12months is non-current). A liability is an obligation on the part of the business resulting from a past transaction that requires a future outflow of resources. Some examples include: Accounts Payable Notes Payable Bank Loan Interest Payable Salaries Payable Employee Deductions Payable Unearned Revenue A + L = OE Accounts must balance to that equation.
