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.

This approach ensures that financial statements provide a true and fair view of the company's financial position.
Contingent liabilities are typically disclosed in the notes to the financial statements rather than being included directly on the balance sheet. However, if a contingent liability is probable and can be reasonably estimated, it may be recognized as a liability on the balance sheet. The disclosure should include the nature of the contingency, potential financial impact, and any uncertainties regarding the timing or amount. This ensures transparency for stakeholders regarding potential financial obligations.
