Question

Answer

In the normal course of business, some of the expenses may be paid in advance. However, the organization may not receive the benefits from these expenses by the end of the current accounting year. We call these expenses as prepaid expenses. We treat them as current assets.

Sometimes in the normal course of business, an enterprise may have some expenses relating to which the payment is due at the end of the year. We know these expenses as Outstanding Expenses.

Wages, salary, rent, interest on the loan, etc. are examples of such expenses that may remain due at the end of the accounting year.
