This is the Accrual basis accounting method, which uses the matching principle (expenses following revenue) to record expenses when they are incurred, and revenue when it is earned (not on the date when cash is received or paid out).
Revenue recognition is one of the principles of accrual accounting. The principle states that revenues are recognized when they are realised and earned, regardless of when cash is received. This contrasts with the principle of cash accounting, where one recognizes revenues only when one actually receives cash.
Accrual Accounting utilizes the "matching principle," which states that expenses are recorded generally when the corresponding revenue has been earned to the extent that it is possible to do so.
