Day 2 of the 100 Days Senior Accountant Interview Challenge by .hub2
Today’s interview topic: Accrual Basis vs Cash Basis of Accounting — one of the most important concepts for Senior Accountant, GL, R2R, Audit, Financial Reporting, and IFRS/Ind AS interviews.
Accrual accounting recognizes income and expenses when they are earned or incurred, while cash accounting records transactions only when cash is received or paid. Understanding this difference is critical for month-end close, journal entries, reconciliations, audit readiness, and accurate financial reporting.
This concept is frequently asked in:
• Senior Accountant Interviews
• Big 4 Interviews
• GL Accounting Roles
• Financial Reporting Roles
• SAP FICO Interviews
• Corporate Accounting & MNC Finance Roles
