DEFINITION of 'Accountant's Liability'. An accountant's legal liability while performing professional duties. An accountant is liable for a client's accounting misstatements. This risk of being responsible for fraud or misstatement forces accountants to be knowledgeable and employ all applicable accounting standards.
In a legal context, a liability is generally a responsibility to compensate for some failure to perform according to an established or agreed-upon stipulation. Because there is an element of risk inherent in most business agreements, limitation of liability clauses are common in all areas of contract law.
