Are shares assets or liabilities? 1.01K views0 Mccafferty 0 Comments Are the shares that a company has issued considered assets or liabilities? Are there some type of shares that can be liabilities for example? 1 AnswerActiveVotedNewestOldest 0 Steele Posted 0 Comments The only class of shares that are liabilities (because the are considered debt rather than equity) is the redeemable preference shares.All other irredeemable shares are considered as capital so neither an asset nor a liability.
