Adjustments for accrued & prepaid income
How do I record accruals and prepayments of income on the financial statements?
-
Calculate the total amount that is due for the current year
-
See the revision note Accrued & Prepaid Income for more information
-
-
Accrued income is an amount which has not yet been received at the end of the accounting period
-
Prepaid income is an amount that is received in the current accounting period but relates to a future accounting period
-
The total amount due for the year is the value included on the income statement
-
If an income has an accrual then add that value to the balance of the account
-
If an income has a prepayment then subtract that value from the balance of the account
-
-
The amounts of the accruals or prepayments are stated on the statement of financial position
-
The amount of an income that is accrued is treated as a current asset
-
Label it as other receivables
-
-
The amount of an income that is prepaid is treated as a current liability
-
Label it as other payables
-
-
Examiner Tips and Tricks
To help remember whether an accrual or a prepayment of income is an asset or a liability, consider whether the business is still owed income. If it is then it is an asset.
Examiner Tips and Tricks
Where there are several accrued incomes, it is usual to show them all added as one figure on the statement of financial position called other receivables under current assets. Similarly, several prepaid incomes are added together as one figure called other payables under current liabilities.
Worked Example
Savio is a trader. His financial year ends 30 September 2023.
On 1 January 2023, Savio rents out a part of his building to a trader who pays $2 400 upfront for 12 months of rent.
Savio receives commission, $375, every three months. On 30 September 2023, Savio has not yet received commission for the previous three months.
Prepare extracts of the financial statements to show how the rent received and commission received are treated.

-
Calculate the rent per month
-
£2 400 ÷ 12 = $200
-
-
Calculate the amount due for the financial year
-
9 months included (J-F-M-A-M-J-J-A-S)
-
9 ✕ $200 = $1 800
-
This is the amount that will be stated on the income statement even though more has been received
-
-
Identify the amount received in advance
-
3 months prepaid (O-N-D)
-
3 ✕ $200 = $600
-
This will be listed as a current liability on the statement of financial position
-
Commission
-
Calculate the commission per month
-
£375 ÷ 3 = $125
-
-
Calculate the amount due for the financial year
-
12 ✕ $125 = $1 500
-
This is the amount that will be stated on the income statement even though not all of it has been received
-
-
Identify the amount still owed
-
3 months owing: $375
-
This will be listed as a current asset on the statement of financial position
