Modified Accrual Accounting

Modified accrual accounting blends elements of cash and accrual methods. Commonly used in government and nonprofit entities, it recognizes revenues when they’re measurable and available, and expenditures when liabilities are incurred. It helps provide a clearer picture of short-term financial health without full adherence to pure accrual principles.
