Assume your small business sells a product to a customer for $500 at the end of the current quarter. Assume you bill the customer and expect her to pay you next quarter. Under the revenue recognition principle, you would recognize the full $500 as revenue in your records in the current quarter because the sale occurred in the current quarter. The timing of the payment in the next quarter does not affect when you record the revenue
This differs from the cash basis of accounting, under which a business recognizes revenue and expenses only when cash is received or paid. Two concepts, or principles, that the accrual basis of accounting uses are the revenue recognition principle and the matching principle.
