The accrual concept requires income and expenses to be recognised when they are earned or incurred, rather than when cash is received or paid. The matching concept requires expenses to be recognised in the same accounting period as the revenue they helped generate, so that the profit for the period is fairly measured. They are closely related because the accrual concept determines when transactions are recognised, while the matching concept ensures that the related costs and revenue are reported in the appropriate period.

How They Relate – Simple Example

A company provides services worth ₦1 million in December 2026, but receives the cash in January 2027.

Under the accrual concept, the ₦1 million revenue is recognised in December 2026 because that is when it was earned.

If the company incurred ₦400,000 of expenses in December to provide those services, the matching concept requires the ₦400,000 expense to also be recognised in December.

Therefore:

December 2026:

Revenue = ₦1,000,000
Related expenses = ₦400,000
Profit = ₦600,000

The cash movements may occur in January, but the accrual and matching concepts ensure that December's financial statements reflect the economic activity that actually occurred in December.

The purchase of a fixed asset is treated as capital expenditure (CapEx) because the asset is expected to provide economic benefits over more than one accounting period. Instead of being charged immediately to the Profit and Loss Account, the cost is initially capitalised as a fixed asset in the Statement of Financial Position. The cost is then gradually recognised as an expense through depreciation over the asset’s useful economic life.
