A contingent liability is a liability that may or may not happen. This means there is uncertainty about recording such a liability in the financial accounts. This is because the happening or not happening of a contingent liability is not in the hands of the future. There are two ways contingent liability can be defined. One method involves a past event and the other one a future event. It is an obligation that may possibly arise from the occurrence or the non-occurrence of a certain future event. The company itself has no control over the said event.
