Balance Sheet: Liability

Liabilities are obligations to others and can include accounts payable, loan payments, mortgages, wages due, taxes soon due, and benefits or pensions due. Just like assets, liabilities are sorted by immediacy and often divided into current (those due in less than 12 months) and long-term liabilities. These items can contain clues to the financial status of the business such as the total amount of debt, and the ratio of short-term to long-term debt. Benefits, and particularly pensions, can represent a large long-term financial liability and bear scrutiny.
