Accrued revenue and debtors are similar in that they are assets. In both cases the revenue is earned before the cash is received, so they present a resource controlled but the entity, which will bring a future economic benefit in the next 12 months. However, they are different in a subtle but different/important way. If the customer has goods and the invoice, then a credit sale has occurred, and a debtor should be recognised. However, if the revenue relates to a transaction other that sales, and the customer has not been sent an invoice, the accrued income has been earned.
Hope this helps :)
