Prepaid Interest

Prepaid interest is interest paid before it’s due, often at the beginning of a loan term. It’s initially recorded as an asset and expensed over the loan period. This ensures interest is recognised gradually, matching the periods benefited and maintaining accuracy in both the income statement and balance sheet.
