Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

A contingent liability is a liability that is yet to occur but likely to occur in the future as a result of a past event. E.g. the outcome of a pending lawsuit

Contingent liabilities are accounted for when:

1. The future event is likely to occur or the future event is probable.

2. The amount can be reasonably estimated

I hope my answer helps you.
