Accounts payable is money owed by a business to its suppliers shown as a liability on a company's balance sheet.
It is distinct from notes payableliabilities, which are debts created by formal legal instrument documents.
Notes Payable is a general ledger account in which a company records the face amounts of the
promissory notes that it has issued. The amounts for the promissory notes (or simply notes) that have not been
repaid are reported as part of the company's liabilities.
Accrued liabilities are liabilities that reflect expenses on the income statement that have not been paid or logged
under accounts payable during an accounting period; in other words, obligations for goods and services provided to a
company for which invoices have not yet been received
Account receivable decrease, cash increase
Matching Principle
Costs that ae directly attributable to the production of revenue are recignized as exenses in
the same period as the related revenue
o E.g. Booklink buys 100 FA books at $30 from Pearson
o Only 30 were sold today. And the books were sold at $50 eaach
o When o we recognize the purchase of 100 FA books
o Why do you think that’s the case ?
