Spanish term or phrase: activos contingentes y pasivos contingentes
Hola!
Es un texto acerca de un diplomado en Normas Internacionales de Contabilidad e Información Financiera NIIF/IFRS. Tiene un par de ramos como "Información financiera economías hiperinflacionarias", "Costos de Intereses" y otro como "provisiones. Activos contingentes y pasivos contingentes". Encuentro contingente y encuentro pasivo, pero no sé como dejarlo, ya que no estoy segura de a qué se refiere.
Gracias por su ayuda :)

Contingent Asset
An asset that a company may have or receive but only if a certain future event occurs. Usually, a contingent asset refers to the outcome of a lawsuit: that is, the company may be awarded a significant amount of money if it wins the lawsuit. Contingent assets are not ordinarily recorded on a balance sheet because of the uncertainty surrounding them. Their existence may or may not affect the company's share price. See also: Contingent Liability.

Contingent Liability
A liability that a company may have to pay, but only if a certain future event occurs. Usually, a contingent liability refers to the outcome of a lawsuit: that is, the company may have to pay a significant amount of money if it loses the lawsuit. Contingent liabilities are recorded under accounts payable; their existence may also affect the share price.
