Accrual accounting is a method of recording revenues and expenses when they are earned or incurred, rather than when cash actually changes hands. It is required under GAAP and IFRS for most public companies and gives a more accurate picture of financial performance over a given period. Accountants and financial analysts use it to prepare income statements, balance sheets, and other financial reports.
