Accrual Accounting

Why Attend

The transition from the cash basis to the accrual accounting system is considered one of the most recent accounting applications. The accrual accounting system records revenues, expenses, assets, liabilities, and equity ("net assets") in the general ledger when the relevant economic activity occurs and when cash is received or paid. The transition from the cash basis to the accrual basis has several advantages, the most important of which is providing more accurate data to the government through a statement of assets and liabilities financially valued at the end of the fiscal year, a statement of accrual-based expenses and revenues, and a statement of cash payments and receipts. The system also provides the elements of financial control over assets and provides data that helps evaluate the performance of government agencies more accurately.
