Correct! A liability is a probable future payment of assets or services that a company is presently obligated to make as a result of past transactions or events. This definition includes three critical factors: (a) a past transaction, (b) a present obligation, and (c) a future payment of assets or services. No liability is reported when one or more of these characteristics are absent. For example, most companies expect to pay future wages to employees, but these future payments are not liabilities because no past event, such as employee work, resulted in a present obligation.
