Contingent liabilities are shown on the balance sheet when they are probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If the likelihood of the liability occurring is remote, it is not recorded in the financial statements but may be disclosed in the notes. If the liability is only reasonably possible, it may be disclosed but not recognized on the balance sheet. This approach ensures that financial statements provide a true and fair view of the company's financial position.
