Deferred income (also known as deferred revenue, unearned revenue, or unearned income) is, in accrual accounting, money received for goods or services which have not yet been delivered.
According to the revenue recognition principle, it is recorded as a liability until delivery is made, at which time it is converted into revenue.
For example, a company receives an annual software license fee paid out by a customer upfront on January 1. However the company's fiscal year ends on May 31. So, the company using accrual accounting adds only
Five months worth (5/12) of the fee to its revenues in profit and loss for the fiscal year the fee was received. The rest is added to deferred income (liability) on the balance sheet for that year.
Deferred income shares characteristics with accrued expense with the difference that a liability to be covered later are goods or services received from a counterpart, while cash is to be paid out in a latter period,
When such expense is incurred, the related expense item is recognized, and the same amount is deducted from accrued expenses.
