Video Notes:
I often receive the question by email:
What is the difference between accrued expenses and prepaid expenses?

So I decided to make a video about it.

In this presentation, we will cover:

the principle of accrual accounting
the concept of accounting profit/loss
the specific characteristics of accrued expenses
the specific characteristics of prepaid expenses

As explained in the video, accrued expenses:

are recorded as debits in the expense account
contribute to increasing the expenses of the current fiscal year
relate to a supply or service already rendered

Conversely, prepaid expenses:
are recorded as credits in the expense account.

allow you to reduce expenses for the current fiscal year
relate to a supply or service that will be provided at a later date
