The correct answer is: Modified Accrual Accounting.

Explanation:

The Modified Accrual Accounting is a governmental - not for public companies - method that combines the accrual basis and cash basis accounting methods. Under this approach, revenues and expenses are recorded as soon as they are available and measurable.
