An accounting expense recognized in the books before it is paid for. These expenses are typically periodic and documented on a company's balance sheet due to the high probability that they will be collected.

An accrued expense is an expense that has been incurred, but for which there is not yet any expenditure documentation. In place of the expenditure documentation, a journal entry is created to record an accrued expense, as well as an offsetting liability.

In the absence of a journal entry, the expense would not appear at all in the entity's financial statements in the period incurred, which would result in reported profits being too high in that period.
