There may be more than one way to record an expense. The easiest journal to think about is when you've used cash to pay for the expense. In that case, you would debit an expense account and credit cash. But, if you've received the benefit of an expense but have not yet paid for it the debit would still be the expense account but the credit would be a liability account. Of course, there are times when cash flows but no expense is recognized such as investments in property, plant and equipment. After that expenditure is made you would recognize periodic expenses in the form of depreciation. That would be a debit to depreciation expense and a credit to accumulated depreciation.
The payment for the monthly rent will require an entry that debits the Rent Expense account to reflect the expense incurred for the period. Simultaneously, it will credit the Cash or Bank account to indicate the outflow of cash. This ensures that the financial records accurately represent the company's expenses and cash position.

Accrued expenses are paid after being put on the company's financial books.

The journal entry to record director fees typically involves debiting an expense account and crediting a liability account. For example, if a company owes $1,000 in director fees, the entry would be: Debit "Director Fees Expense" for $1,000 and Credit "Accrued Liabilities" (or "Accounts Payable") for $1,000. This reflects the expense incurred and the obligation to pay the director. When the payment is made, the liability account would then be debited, and cash would be credited.

Though I have never heard the term "accrued vacation expense" nor have I ever heard of a "vacation" being a business expense, however, the journal entry would be handled like most "payables". So if your company uses the account of Accrued Vacation Expense, the journal entry should be something like....Vacation Expense (debit) $XXXAccrued Vacation Expense (credit) $XXXOnce the amount is paid, a debit would be recorded in the Accrued Vacation Expense account and a credit to Cash, to remove it from the books and note that the debt (or expense) has been met.
