Investopedia explains Current Liabilities

Essentially, these are bills that are due to creditors and suppliers within a short time. Normally, companies withdraw cash or liquidate current assets to pay their current liabilities. Analysts and creditors often use the current ratio, (which divides current assets by current liabilities), or the quick ratio (which divides current assets minus inventories by current liabilities) to discern whether a company has the ability to pay off its current liabilities.
