ACCRUED Meaning and
Definition
-
Accrued refers to something that has gradually accumulated or built up over time, usually involving financial matters or legal obligations. It is an adjective derived from the verb "accrue," which means the process of accruing or increasing in quantity or value.
In financial terms, accrued typically refers to the accumulation of interest, income, expenses, or dividends on an investment or a debt over a certain period. For example, when interest on a loan is due but has not yet been paid, it is said to have accrued. This means that the interest has been calculated and is owed, even if it hasn't been received or paid yet.
In a legal context, accrued can also refer to rights, benefits, or claims that have accumulated over time. For instance, an employee may have accrued vacation days that they are entitled to take at a later date, or a person may have accrued certain legal rights or privileges through years of residency in a particular place.
Overall, accrued signifies the gradual buildup or accumulation of something that is owed, due, or acquired over a period, whether it is financial, legal, or related to other obligations or entitlements.
