DQ2-9 : What are the advantages and disadvantages of using the accrual basis of

accounting rather than the cash basis?

Advantages of accrual basis :

● More accurate depiction of financial situation of an organization since revenues


are recorded when they are earned and expenses are recorded when they are
incurred
● More useful for making financial decisions for users because the info they
provide is more transparent than with cash basis

Disadvantages of accrual basis :


● It can be more challenging to implement than cash basis
○ In cash basis, you simply record transaction based on the cash in/outflow
○ In accrual basis, several processes like the five step process for revenue
recognition have to be used to determine whether or not to record a
transaction
● Having to pay taxes on income you haven’t even received yet on hand because
sales are reported when they are earned
