What is contingent liability?

Answer Posted / pravin kale

Contingent liabilities are liabilities that may or may not
be incurred by an entity depending on the outcome of a
future event such as a court case. These liabilities are
recorded in a company's accounts and shown in the balance
sheet when both probable and reasonably estimable. A
footnote to the balance sheet describes the nature and
extent of the contingent liabilities. The likelihood of
loss is described as probable, reasonably possible, or
remote. The ability to estimate a loss is described as
known, reasonably estimable, or not reasonably estimable.
