1. Accounting.
An amount owing - but not yet invoiced - for:
- Services or goods received before the end of the accounting period; or
- Other economic benefits enjoyed before the end of the accounting period.
An accrual is a form of liability, because it represents cash that will have to be paid out in the future, for a benefit that has already been received.
Accruals may include estimates about the amounts of final future payments, or their likelihood, or both.
2. Pensions.
In a defined benefit pension scheme, the build up over time of entitlement to future benefits, resulting from additional years of pensionable service.
