    Sample:
    I have an amount in terms deposit (principal), and I get interest on it, but I decide to roll over the interest.

    What I would do is to accrued the interest in an account call Prepayments (Liability account) and I credit an account of Income. This way I will show the interest accrued for the month, but not received yet (because we roll over it.)
    When I decide to actual receive the interest into my bank account I will need to debit my bank account (asset), offset my Prepayment Account (liability).

    See my previous post to acrue interest.

    To record the insterest received your journal entry will be:
    Debit Cash for the amount of interest received
    Credit Interest Receivable (for acrued interest) or Interest Revenue (if interest was not acrued) for the amount of interest received.
