For a liability to qualify for recognition there must be not only a present obligation but also the probability of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits to settle that obligation. This means that the settlement of a liability should result in an outflow of resources that embody economic benefits i.e. the involvement of cash or cash equivalents used for payment . It could also involve the transfer of other assets. A liability is measured by the value of these resources that will be paid or transferred. Cash / asset transferred are resources embodying economic benefits
