1 answer

When recording the entry to recognize the revenue that is earned from a client who will pay when invoiced, the entry should increase Accounts Receivable (an asset account) and increase Revenue (in the income statement).

The journal entry would look like this:

  • Debit: Accounts Receivable
  • Credit: Revenue

This reflects that you have earned the revenue and have a claim to receive payment in the future.
