Q. Explain about Accrued assets?
Accrued assets are assets such like interest receivable or accounts receivable that haven't been recorded by the end of an accounting period. These assets represent privileges to receive future payments that aren't due at the balance sheet date. To show an accurate picture of the affairs of the business on the balance sheet firms recognize these privileges at the end of an accounting period by preparing an adjusting entry to correct the account balance. To point out the dual nature of these adjustments they record related revenue in addition to the asset. We as well call these adjustments accrued revenues because the revenues must be recorded.
