Accrual - How do accruals work?
Using accruals, companies record expenses when incurred with or without any cash payments for the expenses. To record an expense in the period in which it is incurred, companies debit the expense account and credit the accounts payable, an account used to track the amount of cash owed by the company to suppliers.
