How would reviewing after date invoices and credit notes help ensure no further items need to be accrued?

Certainly reviewing after year end invoices helps. Not sure what you mean about the credit notes.

But how? Can u explain it to me?

If you receive an invoice for roof repairs on 12/1/2018, it could easily relate to work done y/e 31/12/2017 and so is an expense for y/e 31/12/2017 and needs to be an accrual at 31/12/2017. Some suppliers are quite slow at issuing invoices.
