Answer #1

Accrual means recording of an item in a period before it is actually paid or received i.e. only booking is done in prior period while its actual payment or receipt is going to be in another period. For example:- Rent expense for the month of December actually paid in January then it should be recorded as an expense in the December month as per accrual concept while its actual payment is done in January.

Deferral is recognizing an item in a period after than its actual payment or receipt. For example:- Insurance expense is paid for the full year in January month then as per deferral concept Insurance expense to be recognised for each month separately in the month for which it pertains even when the full payment in done in January. So expense for February month will be recognised in February while its payment is already been done in January.
