financial liabilities

What you owe

Financial liabilities are debts or obligations a person or organization owes to others—loans, mortgages, unpaid bills, bonds issued.

In accounting, liabilities appear on the balance sheet opposite assets: The company's financial liabilities exceeded its cash reserves.

The term distinguishes monetary obligations from other kinds of liability, such as legal responsibility.
