Explanation:

Payables are payment the business is expected to make. Money comes from the company and goes to third parties. Payables represent goods and services obtained from suppliers, but payments have not been made. They are debts that the business owes others.

Because payables are money that the business owes others, they are listed as liabilities. Liabilities are the debts that a business acquires as it engages in its regular activities. Assets are the items of value that a business own. Payables are not assets as they are financial obligations the company is expected to meet.
