“Cash” vs. “Accrual”

Cash Accrual

Expenses paid incurred

GAAP requires using the ACCRUAL basis

Why make Adjusting Journal Entries?

Better Financial Statements

(every adjusting entry will have

one Balance Sheet and

one Income Statement effect)

Matching Concept

Time (period)

I. Identifying accounts to be adjusted:

Accruals and Deferrals

accruals deferralscash AFTER event cash BEFORE event

Deferrals have been recorded; accruals have not.

A. Timing of cash changing hands:

B. DefinitionsAn ACCRUAL is an expense that has NOT been paid or a revenue that has NOT been received.

Accruals and Deferrals

Examples of accruals:Expense: salaries, interest, taxes

Revenue: services (performed on account)

Accruals and DeferralsB. DefinitionsA deferral is a delay of the recognition of an expense already paid or of a revenue already received.

Examples of deferrals:

Expense: supplies, insurance, rent (tenant)

Revenue: subscriptions, rent (landlord)

II. AccrualsA. EXPENSES

1. Example

Salaries increase as employees work each day, yet, for convenience, salaries are recorded when PAID. Since the cash is paid after the event, salaries are an example of accrued expense.

Salaries Expense incurred Salaries Payable incurred

The adjusting entry necessary when payday and the end of the fiscal period are on different days would be:

II. Accruals2. Decision tree conclusion

Accrued Expense

II. AccrualsA. REVENUE

1. Example

A CPA firm is auditing a client’s records; the engagement begins in mid-November and lasts through the end of February. As work is being performed each day, revenue is earned. Since the cash will not be collected until completion of the engagement (after the event), this is an example of accrued revenue.

The adjusting entry necessary on the CPA’s records at the end of the year when financial statements are about to be prepared would be:

Accounts Receivable earned Service Revenue earned

Reversing entries necessary?

“Rule” becomes “old rule” -- won’t work.

These are DEFERRALS -- not accruals.

III. A. 6. Reversing Entries

III. A. 6. Reversing Entries
