Pre-paid expenses are expenses that have been paid in advance by the company. They are stated as an asset in the company's balance sheet as these expenses have been paid for but have not been "incurred". Pre-paid expenses are the opposite of Accrued Expenses. A company may prepay a future expense knowing it will encounter the expense.
