What Are Accrued Items?

Expenses that are owed but have not yet been paid. Mortgage interest, which is paid towards the end of the month, or property taxes, which may be paid after the tax year begins, are two examples. The buyer would be credited with these sums on a closing statement for a sale and would be liable for their payment.
