Accrued Revenue

Accrued revenue is money you expect to get for a service or product you already provided. Such as a customer owes you payment.

For instance, if you did an RM100 service to the customer, but the customer will pay in next month, you should note the RM100 as accrued revenue during the month.

To record this, you need to debit accounts receivable and credit the revenue to ensure the accuracy of sales.
