Accrual basis of accounting:
In accrual basis of accounting, the company records all the transaction that brings changes in the financial statement of the company. In accrual basis of accounting, the revenue is recognized for the accounting period, in which the goods are sold, or the service performed even if cash is not exchanged. Similarly, the expenses are recognized for the accounting period in which the business incurred expenses, even if cash is not exchanged.
Cash basis of accounting:
