What is full accrual accounting?
Accrual accounting is a system which recognizes revenue or expense when it is earned or incurred but not when it is paid or received.
What is the difference between outstanding expense and accrued expense?
I believe that Outstanding expense is an expense that has actually occured but not paid, but accrued expense is an expense which has been paid or may not be paid but the expense has not yet been accounted in books of accounts and hence, it is an estimated expense or an expense which is not yet been booked in our books and hence, we accrue the estimated expense in our books or we book the sum of actual expense and book it as an accrual for this period as there might be a case where the books have been closed for accounts payable but the books are still open for general ledger team to account the sum as an expense in the current period. The accrual will be normally reversed in the subsequent month and actual expenses will be booked. But in case of seasonal accounting the accruals are booked as a non-reversing entry in books and when the actual expense is known, the expense is booked and the accrual entry for the same will be reversed.

Are salaries considered a liability?
If an accrual is made for salaries before they are paid, that accrual would be a balance sheet (the other side of the transaction would be your salary expense). When the salaries have been paid, the liability is reduced.
Is reversing entry optional?
Normally no; however, if you accrued an expense at the end of a period and you had still not paid or recived an invoice for that expense at the end of the next period, you would not reverse the accrual.
