Answer / krishnachaitanyanellore

According to Accrual/Mercantile concept of accounting, the
incomes/expenses are treated as incomes/expenses during the
period they belong to irrespective of whether they are
realized or not.

According to the matching concept, the incomes generated
during a period should be equal to the expenses incurred in
the same period.

Both of them are not exactly same but are nearly same.
