Is there a difference between the deferred revenue and unearned revenue?

1.Deferred and unearned revenue is the same accounting principle in Accrual Accounting. The main concept is that a payment is made in advance before a good or service is delivered or executed.

2.Deferred or unearned revenue is listed as a liability in the accounting books until the good or service is given to the client. After completing the transaction, the income shifts to the other side of the accounting column and is listed as an asset.

Unearned revenue and deferred revenue have the same meaning, the difference in the choice of words. Both terms apply to the same accounting concepts and embody the same characteristics.

Both unearned revenue and deferred revenue are characterized as revenue or profit for the organization that supplies goods or services, but they are listed as liabilities in the accounting books because the said income or revenue is considered as not yet earned or recognized. In this situation, there is a pending action or further transaction to be done before the income or profit is considered to be an asset.

Unearned or deferred revenue happens when payment for a particular good or service is given to the company who provides it but, at the same time, the company doesn’t provide the good or service at that particular time but at a later date. This portrays a one-way transaction at this specific time. Only after the good or service is supplied will the transaction be considered complete. At the same time, the company can list the payment as part of their revenue or income.
