Accrued expenses are short-term liabilities?
[edit]Would it be accurate to say that accrued expenses are short-term liabilities? This site says, "Accrued expenses are expenses incurred but not paid yet. Interest free source of finance. The accrued expenses account is a short-term liability" but I notice that isn't mentioned in the article. Thanks. AccountsPayable (talk) 18:48, 23 July 2015 (UTC)

Then when the invoice is received:
Accrued expenses ..... $500 Accounts payable .... $500
Then when the invoice is paid:
Accounts payable ..... $500 Cash ................ $500
