The entry for unearned commission typically involves debiting a cash or accounts receivable account and crediting an unearned revenue account. This reflects the receipt of payment for services or sales that have not yet been performed. Once the commission is earned, the unearned revenue account is debited, and the commission revenue account is credited to recognize the income.
