Under accrual method of accounting, goods or services are received today and payment is made in the future. The transaction is recorded in the books when the goods and services are received (i.e. today) while the future payment obligation is treated as a liability (account payable) Example: accrued wages payable, accrued sales tax payable, and accrued rent payable, etc.
Hope this helps!

A contingent liability which is normally accrued is estimated claims under a service warranty on new products sold.
Accrued expenses are those expenses the benefit of which has already taken by the business but the payment is not yet cleared that's why it is the liability of business.
Accounts Receivable + Inventory - Accounts Payables. (excludes prepaid expenses and accrued liabilities)

Adjustment of accrued expenses means to adjust the previously recorded accruals like prepaid expenses or outstanding liabilities etc.
