An adjunct account is an account in financial reporting that increases the book value of a liability account. An adjunct account is a valuation account from which credit balances are added to another account. The concept of an adjunct account can be contrasted with the concept of a contra account, which decreases the amount of a liability account through a debit entry.
An adjunct account is also sometimes just referred to as a valuation account.
