Quasi Contract

A quasi contract is a legal obligation imposed to prevent one party from being unjustly enriched at another’s expense, even though no formal agreement exists. In accounting, recognition may arise when services or goods are received without a signed contract but payment is legally required. Proper documentation ensures accurate liability recording.
