To enter the double entry for interest receivable, you would debit the Interest Receivable account to recognize the income that is owed to you but not yet received. Simultaneously, you would credit the Interest Income account to reflect the earned revenue on your income statement. This ensures that both the asset and income are accurately recorded in the accounting system.
