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.

Window dressing is actions taken to improve the appearance of a company's financial statements. Window dressing is particularly common when a business has a large number of shareholders, so that management can give the appearance of a well-run company to investors who probably do not have much day-to-day contact with the business. It may also be used when a company wants to impress a lender in order to qualify for a loan. If a business is closely held, the owners are usually better informed about company results, so there is no reason for anyone to apply window dressing to the financial statements.
Examples of window dressing are:
Cash. Postpone paying suppliers, so that the period-end cash balance appears higher than it should be.
Accounts receivable. Record an unusually low bad debt expense, so that the accounts receivable (and therefore the current ratio) figure looks better than is really the case.
Fixed assets. Sell off those fixed assets with large amounts of accumulated depreciation associated with them, so the net book value of the remaining assets appears to indicate a relatively new cluster of assets.
Revenue. Offer customers an early shipment discount, thereby accelerating revenues from a future period into the current period.
Depreciation. Switch from accelerated depreciation to straight-line depreciation in order to reduce the amount of depreciation charged to expense in the current period. The mid-month convention can also be used to further delay expense recognition.
Expenses. Withhold supplier invoices, so that they are recorded in a later period.
