I have my exam coming up in two weeks and this has helped so much. Thank you for the amazing (and free!!) lectures. I most certainly know where I will make a donation with my first pay when I start my first job next year. :-)

Suppose that we received an invoice for part of current year and next year but this was not paid yet at year end but we need to book invoice. Do we need to show the amount for next year as prepaid asset and other side as creditor although not paid?

[@opentuition]

When you received the invoice, you debit the expense and credit payables with the whole amount. In the expense account you then record the amount of the invoice relating to next year as a prepayment. (It is called a prepaid expense, not a prepaid asset (even though the prepayment is shown as an asset in the SOFP. Also we do not use the word creditor any more - it is a payable :-) )

Hello opentuition i have a question regarding the syllabus. In the syllabus it has written only accruals and prepayments why hasnt it detailed about accrued and prepaid income and expense?

[@opentuition]

Although the word accruals most often refers to accrued expenses, it can also mean accrued income. It is the same with the word prepayments.

[@kkaif2756]

@@opentuition Ive been waiting for your reply.Thank you loads❤.I wonder how many more details Are not mentioned in syllabus which was suppose to guide us to revise.🤔🤔

[@opentuition]

@@kkaif2756 To be fair, the words 'accruals' and 'prepayments' do include both expenses and income. Have you been to our website? Everything is free of charge and there is a complete free video course for every ACCA exam.

Accruals and Prepayments.
In September we make a payment of $3,000 to the landlord of our office for the rental charge covering September, October and November ($1,000 for each month). How will you record this transaction in the balance sheet and income & expenditure account for each of the following?
a) The September management accounts.
b) The October management accounts.
c) The November management accounts.
How to solve that question?
