The words are used for the same thing. In the SOFP (we stopped calling it the Balance Sheet many years ago) we show the interest still owing at the year end. In the SOPL we show the total interest earned during the year. I suggest that you watch my free lectures on accruals and prepayments. The lectures are a complete free course for Paper FA and cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well.

It is the normal way we deal with accruals and prepayments!
