Explanation:

A liability is an obligation resulting from a previous event that is not due within one year of the date of the balance sheet.

On a balance sheet liabilities are categorised into current and long term liabilities.

An example of a long term liability is a long term loan, and a mortgage is an example of a long term loan, since it will take the next 30 years to pay off the mortgage.

Other examples of long term liability are bonds payable, pension liabilities, custormer deposits.
