Explanation:

Accrued revenue is a term used to describe a sale that has been recognized by the seller, but which has not yet been billed to the customer.

The absence of accrued revenue would tend to show excessively low initial revenue levels and low profits for a business, which does not properly indicate the true value of the organization.
