  1. In accounting context, assets are the property or estate which can be transformed into cash in the future, whereas liabilities are the debt which is to be settled in the future.
  2. Assets refer to the financial resources, which provide future economic benefit. Conversely, liabilities are those financial obligations, which requires being paid off in the near future.
  3. Assets are depreciable objects, i.e. every year a certain percentage or amount is deducted as depreciation. As against this, liabilities are non-depreciable.
  4. In the balance sheet, assets are shown on the right side, while liabilities are placed at the left. Further, the total of assets and total of liabilities should tally.
