Hi

does anyone know why prepaid income reduces the income in the current financial year and accrued income increases the income in the current financial year?

    If you have £10k of income in the current year and £2k if for work you will do in the following year, you'll prepay £2k of income to the following year, thus reducing current income to £8k

    Its the opposite with accrued income, you're recognising income due, but not yet recieved.
