Dear Rajini,
the prepaid expenses....show as an asset in the balance sheet under current assets and the second effect goes to cash..
at the due date, transfer the prepaid expense a/c to the P&L
income in adv: liability in the balance sheet and the second effect in cash
at the due date, transfer the advance income a/c to the P&L
