Definitions:

Spontaneously Generated Funds

Funds generated if a liability account increases spontaneously (automatically) as sales increase. An increase in a liability account is a source of funds; thus, funds have been generated. Two examples of spontaneous liability accounts are accounts payable and accrued wages. Note that notes payable, although a current liability account, is not a spontaneous source of funds since an increase in notes payable requires a specific action between the firm and a creditor.
