Liability (financial accounting)
The value that a financial entity owes / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In financial accounting, a liability is a quantity of value that a financial entity owes. More technically, it is value that an entity is expected to deliver in the future to satisfy a present obligation arising from past events.[1] The value delivered to settle a liability may be in the form of assets transferred or services performed.
