• Accounting method that records revenue when earnedand expenses when incurred, rather than when cashchanges hands
• Revenues and Expenses should be posted to the fiscalyear in which they were incurred
– Accrue for Expenses incurred that will be paid next year– Accrue for Revenues earned this year that will be received next year– Defer for Expenses paid this year that will be incurred next year– Defer for Revenue that were received this year but will be earned
next year
