This basis of accounting differs from GAAP primarily because certain revenue and related assets (such as accounts receivable and revenue for billed or provided services not yet collected) have been recognized when received rather than when earned and certain expenses and related liabilities ( such as accounts payable and expenses for goods or services received but not yet paid and other accrued liabilities) have been recognied when paid rather than when the obligations were incurred.</ExplanationTxt>
