Known Liability

A known liability is an obligation that is certain in existence and can usually be measured with reasonable accuracy. Examples include unpaid salaries, supplier invoices received, taxes payable, or loan installments due. Since the obligation is already identified, it should normally be recorded in the books without waiting for uncertainty to be resolved.
