Under accrual accounting when does a company record expenses? If something shows up as an expense on the income statement, does that communicate to us that the expense has been paid?
Under the accrual accounting, the company will be recording the expenses when the transaction will be taking place and the company will be trying to record the expenses in the correct period, it is not about the payment of cash.it is about the incurring of the transaction rather than payment
No, when there is a recording of expense in the income statement, it will not mean that the cash has been paid but it will mean that the expense has been incurred and it will be recorded in the books of accounts according to the accrual concept.
