Liabilities
No, depreciation expense is not an example of an accrued expense. Instead, it represents the systematic allocation of the cost of a tangible asset over its useful life. Accrued expenses are liabilities that have been incurred but not yet paid, such as wages or interest. Depreciation is a non-cash expense that reflects the reduction in value of an asset rather than an obligation to pay.
Unrecorded liabilities can be recorded by first identifying them through a thorough review of accounts payable, contracts, or other agreements that indicate future obligations. Once identified, the liabilities should be recognized in the accounting records by creating a journal entry that debits the appropriate expense or asset account and credits a liability account, such as accounts payable or accrued expenses. This ensures that the financial statements accurately reflect all obligations, maintaining compliance with accounting standards. Finally, it's important to disclose these liabilities in the financial statement notes if they are material to provide transparency to stakeholders.
