Liabilities
Everything the company owes to others, short-term and long-term.
Liabilities cover bank loans, trade payables, tax and pension obligations and anything else the company still has to pay. The balance sheet splits them by maturity: due within one year, and due after more than one year.
That split is the point. Long-term debt is planned; a large short-term balance next to little cash means money has to be found soon.
Provisions are usually shown separately: obligations whose size or timing is not yet fixed.
