Current liabilities are debts and obligations that a company needs to settle within a year or its operating cycle. They include amounts owed to suppliers, short-term loans, accrued expenses, and other financial obligations due in the near term.

Non-current liabilities, also known as long-term liabilities, are financial obligations that are not expected to be settled within the normal operating cycle of a business, typically extending beyond one year. They represent long-term financial commitments that a company owes to creditors or other parties.

Contingent Liabilities: Potential liabilities dependent on the outcome of future events, such as lawsuits or warranties.

Certainly! In simple terms, liabilities are divided into three main types:

  1. Current Liabilities: These are debts or obligations that a company needs to settle within a short period, typically within one year. Examples include bills to be paid, loans due soon, and taxes owed.

  2. Long-Term Liabilities: These are debts or obligations that are due over a longer period, usually more than a year. Examples include long-term loans, mortgages, and bonds payable.

  3. Contingent Liabilities: These are potential obligations that might arise in the future depending on certain events, like lawsuits or warranties. They're not certain liabilities yet but could become so under specific conditions.
