Full Definition of Deferred Expense

A deferred expense is an expense incurred which does not apply to the current accounting period. Instead, the expense is debited to a ‘Deferred expenditure’ account in the non-current assets area of a chart of accounts. When such expenditure becomes current, it can then be transferred to the profit and loss account as normal.
