Cash vs accrual

Hello, when I run a P&L with cash the figures are higher than with accrual (report to date)- I thought that it would be the other way around as I thought that a cash P&L would only show what has been paid? Maybe I am getting confused somehow though! Thanks for your advice

Sorry I am getting confused- cash seems to be lower than accrual so I guess that would make sense?


Thanks for getting back to us lkoups, yes cash would be lower so that would seem to be working as expected 😊

Hello Ikoups, 

 

Welcome to the Community page,

 

could you send us some screenshots of this so we can have a look at it for you? 

 

Also, can you click into the transactional reports to see if there is anything that doesn't look right in there? 

 

And can you also try clearing your cache and cookies, close the browser down, reload it log into your account, and see if it shows differently or not? 

 

Thanks

Thanks- I think that maybe it is to do with payments that havent been made yet so with accrual the amounts are higher- is that right?

Hello lkoups, If you are on the accrual method for accounting yes we'd expect that to be higher as the invoices not paid are generally higher than the ones paid, unless you have none overdue. Do you have a lot of sales receipts and expenses as they would be classed as paid straight away?
