33. Glencoe Accounting Question 3 Explain the matching principle and why it is important to accounting. The matching principle requires recording revenues in the period they are earned and recording expenses that were incurred to make those revenues in the same period. This may not be when expenses or revenues are paid or collected. By matching expenses and revenues, the matching principle provides an accurate measure of net income. For example, if you pay for (prepay) six months of insurance on one date, that expense is spread over the six months in which the policy is in effect. The cost of each month’s portion of the policy’s premium must be expensed in that month (1/6 of the total cost) so that records accurately reflect expenses. Having this information allows comparisons to be made for similar periods.
