    Deferred Revenue can be a real head-scratcher. As if Adjusting Entries weren't already confusing enough... Deferred Revenue, Unearned Revenue and Prepaid Revenue all mean the same thing!
    In this video, you'll find out what these terms mean and I'll show how to account for them correctly, using Journal Entries and T Accounts.
    I'm creating a whole mini-series devoted to this topic which will include worked examples for each of these four types of Adjusting Entry...

    Thank you for explaining a concept I was completely stuck on! Watching your 4-part accrual series, as well as your earlier videos ie/ Balance Sheet etc, to help better understand what a textbook is doing a less than stellar job to explain! I have accomplished more in 24 hours watching your videos than the 3 months I've been at this Financial Accounting course - awesome job explaining everything - thank you! Your use of graphics and examples really brings it all home as well as concepts such as determining which statement is affected (ie/ releasing it from the Balance Sheet and assigning to the Income Statement), and why, really gives a stronger understanding than just memorizing. Oh, and DEALER is brilliant. Thank you!!!

    Hey man, got a question. In this video you point out that you can't credit revenue in JR:2/Initial because of the accruals basis. Revenue & Expenses must be recognised as they are incurred-I understand that. However in your previous video of this mini series, when talking about deferred expenses you Cr Cash & Dr Insurance expense. Why was it ok to recognise the expense in that JR even thought it seems to contradict what you're saying in this video (to me at least)?

    Hi James big fan of your videos hoping you can clear something up for me! I know this video is a little old but I figured I would post my question anyway as I see that you are still rather active on a lot of your videos. why is it alright to record an expense as an ex. "insurance expense" with that initial entry as you say impacting the income statement and requiring adjustment, but unearned revenue does not receive this same treatment, and cannot be entered with anything but an "unearned revenue" entry?
