liability
In accounting, a financial obligation. Liabilities are placed alongside assets on a balance sheet to show the wealth of the individual or company concerned at a given date. Business organizations often distinguish between current liabilities such as overdrafts, trade credit, and provisions, and long-term liabilities such as debentures, mortgages, and unsecured loans.
