The dictionary definition of quasi is: to some degree; in some manner.a quasi-liability is considered, to some degree, a liability, but it doesnt require actualpayment.an example of a quasi-liability is minority interest. minority interest on a balance sheetrepresents the interests that others have in a subsidiary of the parent company. eventhough it appears as a liability, it does not represent money that would have to be paidto other owners. it is simply there to better reflect the true nature of the parentcompanys financial standing.
