An accruals journal is an accounting record used to document and track accruals, which are revenues earned or expenses incurred that have not yet been recorded in the general ledger. This journal helps ensure that financial statements reflect the company's financial position accurately by recognizing income and expenses in the period they occur, rather than when cash is exchanged. It is essential for adhering to the accrual basis of accounting, which provides a more comprehensive view of a company's financial performance.
