  1. Great video! Love it. My question is that since the accrual earning is recorded as it incurred, theoretically a business could like to assign a contract say any amount of income, and falsely report as their earning of that period of time; and then cancel it after the report. So essentially, a non-existing income has been reported. Is there any way able to identify this?

  2. Hi! I was wondering if you could help me with an accounting question. The business I am working for take about 6 months to get a client to sign a contract, in the meantime we have developers working on their ideal platform to get them to sign up, but we don’t get paid until they love it. Once they love it, we have a sandbox working platform that we already spent all the time working on and we get paid (lets say $100,000) up front for the subscription for the following year. I am working with quickbooks but how do you suggest I record all the time worked prior to the payment and signed contract? Thank you

  3. I hold a BSc in Microbiology, but having worked in the banking sector, I developed an affinity for Finance and decided to pursue a masters degree in Finance, it was really tough and challenging for me until I came across your channel. Thank you so much ( I wish you could create an A to Z terms in Finance and Accounting)
