Similar to "tech debt", accounting debt is incurred when accounting departments take shortcuts either at the start of a companies life or during a busy period. These shortcuts then have to be "paid off" (i.e. corrected) by that same department or a third party at a later date. This phrase was coined by accountant Matthew R Williams, ACA in New York City on 23-Jun-22.
