The general term for an expense that has not been paid and has not yet been recognized in the accounts is "accrued expense." Accrued expenses are recorded in the accounting period in which they are incurred, even if payment has not yet been made. This practice ensures that financial statements reflect all incurred liabilities, adhering to the accrual basis of accounting.
