How do I record invoices from last fiscal year?

Asked on Aug. 31, 2018

I just received some bills this current fiscal year that were from an event last fiscal year. I do not want to restate my prior financials. Can I just set up an account titled prior period expenses and post them this current fiscal year?

If it is material then restate. Otherwise, just expensed it in the current year and no need to create a new account for it. It will show up in your variance analysis as a prior year unaccrued expense.
