Any incomes or expenses which are received or incurred during the financial year but not yet earned or benefit received those receipts or payments are charged to this account instead of charging it to P&L Account.   The balance of this account will shown in Balance sheet.  This will be written off in next few years.  

For Ex:  Contract amount received but work is in progress,  any heavy expenditures incurred but benifits from that not yet received.

If an amount incurred or accounted or paid to establish over a period of time of the business or for the business, these kind of accounts are treated as deferred account.

Eg., An advertisement expenses incurred by an organisation etc.,
