A prepaid expense is an asset on the Balance Sheet. Due to accounting principles expenses are often accrued on the balance sheet and expensed in a later period. Often, an expense is accrued to match to the earned revenue for which it was incurred. This is done for expenses related to manufacturing goods that will be sold to customers at a later date.
