Accrual concept refers to the recognition of revenue and expenses in the financial statements

before the actual cash transaction takes place.


 Accrual concept is based on the matching principle, which states that expenses should
be recognized in the same period as the revenue they helped generate.
 This means that revenue and expenses are recorded in the financial statements when
they are earned or incurred, regardless of when the cash is received or paid.
 For example, if a company provides services to a customer in December but does not
receive payment until January, the revenue for those services would still be recognized in
December under the accrual concept.
 Similarly, if a company incurs expenses in December but does not pay for them until
January, the expenses would still be recognized in December under the accrual concept.
 Accrual concept is important for providing a more accurate picture of a company's
financial performance and position.
 It also helps to ensure that financial statements are consistent and comparable across
different periods.
