Under the accrual basis of accounting, the amount that has occurred but is unpaid should be recorded with a debit to Interest Expense and a credit to the current liability Interest Payable. To illustrate, let's assume that a company's December loan payment included interest up until December 10.

Notes Payable is a liability account that reports the amount of principal owed as of the balance sheet date. (Any interest incurred but not yet paid as of the balance sheet date is reported in a separate liability account Interest Payable.) The accountant has verified that the amount of principal actually owed is the same as the amount appearing on the preliminary balance sheet. Therefore, no entry is needed for this account.
