Accruals are a form of accounting practice that can help to provide an accurate representation of a construction project’s economic condition at the end of an accounting period or year. Accruals constitute amounts that are unaccounted for, either revenues earned or expenses incurred that have not yet been recorded in the accounts. Estimates of these amounts should be made if necessary so as to provide an accurate representation of the accounts in the financial statements.

Accruals enable an organisation to keep records of revenue and expenses that have not been received or incurred, which is important when part of a supply chain where payment terms can often result in invoices not being paid for goods or services rendered for several days, weeks, or even months.

This differs from the cash method of accounting which involves the recording of revenue when it is received and the recording of expenses when they are paid. This raises the problem that revenue is not tied to the expenses that contributed to the generating of the revenue, which can make it difficult to identify the profitability of operations.

In the accrual method, income is reported in the year that the expenses that were incurred to generate that income have been paid. Expenses are reported only once goods and services have been delivered or provided.
