Different Kind of liabilities

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.
