:::'''Accrual''' (''accumulation'') of something is, in [[w:finance]], the adding together of [[w:interest]] or different [[w:investments]] over a period of time. It holds specific meanings in [[w:accounting]], where it can refer to accounts on a [[w:balance sheet]] that represent liabilities and non-cash-based assets used in accrual-based accounting. These types of accounts include, among others, [[w:accounts payable]], [[w:accounts receivable]], [[w:Goodwill (accounting)|goodwill]], [[w:deferred tax]] [[w:liability (accounting)|liability]] and future interest expense.
