Accrual accounting records revenue when earned and expenses when incurred, regardless of when money is received or paid, providing a more accurate picture of financial performance.

Accrual accounting records income when it is earned and expenses when they occur, rather than when cash is received or paid. It gives a clearer picture of a business's financial performance.

Accrual accounting is a method where you record income when it’s earned and expenses when they’re incurred, rather than when money actually changes hands. For example, if you provide a service in August but get paid in September, you record the income in August. It gives a more accurate picture of a business’s financial position.
