    Which of the following assertions do not relate to accruals and prepayments?
    1)Existence
    2)Completeness
    3Cutt-Off
    4)Valuation
    How is the assertion of cutt-off not related to accruals and prepayments because if the accruals are not recorded in the correct period they can be over/understated right?

    Accruals and prepayments are items on the SOFP and cut-off is not an assertion there.

    However, an accrual also affects an expense and for that effect cut-off is important.

    Well cannot get the logic behind this.If Expenses can be over/understated because of the cutt-off why the liabilities and assets also cannot be under/over stated because of the wrong cutt-off?

    I agree, and really the question is not a good one.
