Debit revenue account
Credit income statement
Accrued Revenue is a term that I rarely see, though it is an Asset and should be treated as such. Accrued Revenue would be treated similar to an Account Receivable. The Journal Entry would be a Debit to Accrued Revenue and a Credit to Revenue.

A compound entry in a general journal is any entry that has more than one debit or credit value. A compound entry is used to close the expense accounts because you will need to credit all of the expense accounts, then debit either the Income Summary, or the Capital itself.
Standard closing entries: Close Revenue accounts to Income Summary by debiting Revenue and crediting Income Summary. Close Expense accounts to Income Summary by debiting Income Summary and crediting Expense accounts. Close Income Summary to Capital account by debiting Income Summary and crediting Capital account. Close Withdrawals account to Capital account by debiting Capital account and crediting Withdrawals account.
The purpose of the closing entry is to bring the temporary journal account balances to zero for the next accounting period, which aids in keeping the accounts reconciled.
Which of the following accounts will be closed to the Capital account at the end of the fiscal year?
Closing entries close out your temporary or "income statement" accounts, as well as your dividends paid account. All of your revenue accounts increase your retained earnings, expense accounts decrease retained earnings, and dividends paid decrease retained earnings.
When you close the accounts, it totals into retained earnings, so in turn, it is essentially retained earnings.
The income summary is also referred to as the revenue summary or the profit and loss statement. It serves as a temporary account used to close revenue and expense accounts at the end of an accounting period.
All revenue and expense accounts should be closed to the income summary account, as shown:Revenue xxIncome Summary xxTo close revenue accounts.Income Summary xExpenses xTo close expense accounts.If the business is a merchandising company, the following transactions must also be recorded.Income Summary xxInventory xxTo close opening inventory.Inventory xxIncome Summary xxTo record ending inventory.Supplies Expense
When you close an account you cancel the account, you delete it, if you close an account it won't be there later!!
