04 October 2008 For MIS purpose Unaccrued income may reflect your orders in hand or the future income. But as far as income criterion is concerned you can not recognise your future income as everyone has to follow the conservative approach whereby the income which has not accrued is not supposed to be booked. As such you may reverse the income not accrued as on the date of balance sheet where a profit and loss account is drawn. However, for MIS purposes your entries are correct.

04 October 2008 It is not even the question of coservative or otherwise. Where is the rationale for accounting for income that has not even accrued?
