My understanding is Accrual = (VOWD - Actual expenditure)
An increase(+) in accruals increases(+) the cash provided by operating activities under the cash flow statement.
Accruals: Accruals are those items the benefits of which has already taken by company but the payments are not yet paid or services of which are already provided but amounts are not received yet Example: rent accrued for previous 6 months but not yet paid. Pre payments: Pre payments are reverse of accruals as these are the payments which have made already but the benefits of those payments are not yet taken by the company. For Example: Prepaid rent for next 6 months.

Gross DSCR= Cash accruals ( Profit after tax + Depreciation) + Interest ----------------------------------------------------------- Installments of loan + Interest Net DSCR = Cash Accruals (PAT + Depreciation) -------------------------------------- Installments
Earned value is the physical percent complete x the approved budget. Value of work done is the percent complete x the estimate at completion. VOWD is used as an accrual mechanism which is dependent on the forecast - thus the figure will be adjusted upon receiving an invoice/actual being realised, earned value is a physical percent complete represented in terms of the budget applied universally and is absolute.
Cash basis is where you record transaction as the cash is exchanging hands regardless of when invoices were raised whereas accruals basis (also known as matching concept) is where you record sales when the invoice is raised and match the expenses to them in the same accounting period. Accruals accounting is the method used in financial reporting as it gives a more accurate view of the profit or loss made.

In accrual based accounting, expenses are recognized in the period in which they are incurred if measurable.

Accruals are considered (in terms of finance) as liabilities or assets, which still have to be paid. They are however recognized before they have even been paid. This is due to the extremely high likelihood of payment by well-known customers.
