For the portion of payment made, accrued liabilities would be reduced by way of passing an adjusting entry. Thus, adjusting entries of accrued expenses, will increase the liability account (a credit), and increase the expense account (a debit).
Accrued revenues:
Accrued revenues are the revenues that have been earned, but the cash has not yet been collected for the earned revenue. These accrued revenues create assets. For the portion of collection of cash, created assets would be reduced by way of passing an adjusting entry.
Thus, adjusting entries of accrued revenue, will increase the asset account (a debit), and increase the revenue account (a credit).
