One major difference between deferral and accrual adjustments is:

Respuesta :

Answer:

The accrual of an Expense/Revenue occurs when an entry to the accounting is made one period before the payment it's made, it happens because the transaction it's made at a moment in time but the payment in the future, Example: Electrical consumption, it ocurrs one month before the payment, we must register the liabilities.

With deferral of an expense occurs the opposite, first the payment of service it's made but it's consumed in the future, it's registered as Pay in Advance, for example, insurance, you paid the invoice that cover 6 months from now.
