A credit to a liability account increases the balance of that account, reflecting an obligation owed by the business. For example, when a company takes out a loan, it credits its loan liability account to acknowledge the new debt. This adjustment is part of the double-entry accounting system, ensuring that the accounting equation (assets = liabilities + equity) remains balanced.
