This is the lesson that helped me to understand deferrals and accruals.  Think of Deferrals as ‘Dollars before Action’ and Accruals as ‘Action before Dollars.’

Deferred Expense -- Asset:  Prepaid Expense
Think of this as an expense where we paid Dollars before the Action of incurring the expense.  Our vendors owe us, this is an asset.

Deferred Revenue -- Liability:  Unearned Revenue
Think of this as revenues that we accepted Dollars before the Action of earning them.  We owe our customers, this is a liability.

Accrued Expense -- Liability:  Account Payable
Think of this as a time when the Action of incurring an expense came before the Dollars we need to pay.  We owe our vendors money, this is a liability.  

Accrued Revenues -- Asset: Account Receivable
Think of this as the Action of earning the revenues came before receiving the Dollars we need to collect.  Our customers owe us money, this is an asset.
