Contingent Liabilities
Potential liabilities – triggered by some specified future event. Rule:
If the trigger event is probable and the amount can be determined -- accrue the liability
If the potential liability is expected to be material, but the amount cannot be estimated, disclose in footnote

Example: Warranties

Journal entry:
Dr. Warranty expense $15,000. Cr. Warranties (liability) $15,000.

Example: Coupons, Premiums, Frequent Flyer Miles, Etc.
Essentially treated the same as warranties: Based on past experience, X% of (whatever) will be redeemed at Y cost. The amount can be estimated and must be accrued as a liability (some may be non current, most current).
Journal entry depends. I.e., coupons - advertising expense; miles reduction of revenue recognized

Example: Lawsuit (not potentially material)
Unless there is no likelihood of winning, NEVER accrue lawsuit liability. Instead:
Footnote – general for run of the mill lawsuits: XYZ company is party to several legal actions in which we expect to prevail. Even if they should result in a negative verdict we do not expect them to have a material effect on the company

Lawsuit (amount potentially material)
Footnote:The company is being sued for $50
million for alleged racial discrimination. We deny the charges and expect to prevail. Even if we should not prevail we do not believe that this case would have a material effect on the company.

Lawsuit (material, will probably lose)
Company may chose to accrue liability to force the action into bankruptcy court. This applies to unusual situations, original case: Johns Manville (The granddaddy of asbestos litigation)
Company accrued the potential liability, triggered debt/equity covenants – led to technical bankruptcy, etc.
