There are several methods businesses can use to accelerate expenses:
Prepaying Expenses: Companies can prepay for services or goods that they will receive in the future, thus recognizing the expense in the current period. Increasing Depreciation: By opting for an accelerated depreciation method, businesses can recognize larger depreciation expenses earlier in the asset's life. Writing off Bad Debts: Accelerating the write-off of bad debts can also increase expenses in the current period.
