Prepaid Expense Amortization

What is Prepaid Expense Amortization ?

Prepaid expense amortization refers to the process of gradually expensing a prepaid expense over its useful life.

What Is the Process of Amortization for Prepaid Expenses and How Does It Work?

When a business pays for a prepaid expense, the cost is initially recorded as an asset on the balance sheet. As the expense is incurred over time, the asset is gradually expensed through the process of amortization. This process involves dividing the total cost of the prepaid expense by its useful life and then expensing a portion of that cost each accounting period.
