Let me see if I can explain this. It's probably easier for you to plug in numbers. Let's say:Net Income = 100,000. Decrease in AR = 50,000 and Decrease in Accrued Expense = 40,000.
To convert Accural to Cash, a Decrease in AR would be an added to net income and a decrease in accrued expense would be subtracted to net income.
Accounts Receivable
100,000 NI + 50000 = 150,000 cash basis
Accrued Expense
100,000 NI - 40,000 = 60,000 cash basis
So to answer the question, cash basis of 60k is understated compared to accrual basis for accrued expense. For Account receivable, cash basis of 150k is overstated.
I really hope my explanation makes sense.
