What is the difference between Modified accrual and Full accrual method?"
I the old days a provision for expenses was an expense accrual that was not posted to creditors but to a liablity provision line. This is a reminiscence of tax accounting. I the old days a provision for expenses was an expense accrual that was not posted tno creditors but to a liablity provision line. This is a reminiscence of tax accounting.
My understanding is Accrual = (VOWD - Actual expenditure)
Matching principle is the base of accrual accounting system which tells that each revenue earned should be matched with cost spent to earn that revenue so accrual account and matching principle is not different but same thing.

i must say accrued and provision is two different things,accrued is something paid to you but you can spend it,concerning provision is not the same.
In prepaid accounts cash is paid before and benefits are taken later while in accrual accounts benefits are taken before but cash is paid later.
A provision is when it's grater than 50% chance of happening where as a contingent is less than that. You show a provision on the accounts but not the contingent.
Accrual concepts use the matching of expenses to get an overall picture of a person's account. A realization concept is based on the results of the accrual process.
Provisions are charge against profit and Reserves are appropriation of profit.
Amortization is the monthly depreciation of an asset that depreciates over time. Accrual is the sum money either earned or owed due to an monthly interest rate over months or years. So amortization does not deal with fiscal money and accrual is sum of money over time that needs to be paid or received (revenue).
