<xsl:if test="not(FIELD[FNAME='isFirstOfTheMonth']/VALUE) =false">
  <fo:block font-family="Times New Roman" font-size="11.0pt" text-align="left">
    <xsl:text>The  liability is &#36;</xsl:text>
    <xsl:value-of select="FIELD[FNAME='amount]/VALUE" />
    <xsl:text>&#160;effective&#160;</xsl:text>
    <xsl:value-of select="FIELD[FNAME='StartDate']/VALUE" />
    <xsl:text>.</xsl:text>

not(FIELD[FNAME='isFirstOfTheMonth']/VALUE) =false

I think that closing parenthesis is in the wrong place. You are comparing the result of the not to false, do you want to compare the content of the VALUE element to "false"? In which case using not-equals would be better:

FIELD[FNAME='isFirstOfTheMonth']/VALUE != 'false'

noting that you need to put strings in quotes…. Thus

<xsl:if test="FIELD[FNAME='isFirstOfTheMonth']/VALUE != 'false'">
  …
</xsl:if>
