📚 Year 7 CCEA Accounting: Core Knowledge Checklist | Year 7 CCEA 会计：核心知识点梳理

Accounting is often called the ‘language of business’. In Year 7, you begin to learn how to record, organise and understand financial information. This knowledge checklist covers the essential topics you will meet in CCEA Accounting, helping you build a strong foundation for future studies.

会计常被称为“商业的语言”。在七年级，你将开始学习如何记录、整理和理解财务信息。这份知识点清单涵盖了你将在 CCEA 会计课程中遇到的核心主题，帮助你为未来的学习打下坚实基础。

1. What is Accounting? | 什么是会计？

Accounting is the process of recording, classifying and summarising financial transactions to help people make informed decisions. It tells us where money comes from and where it goes.

会计是记录、分类和汇总财务交易的过程，目的是帮助人们做出明智的决策。它会告诉我们钱从哪里来、又去了哪里。

Think of accounting as keeping a detailed score for a business or an individual. Every time money is earned or spent, it must be noted down accurately.

你可以把会计想象成为企业或个人保留一份详细的“记分簿”。每一次赚钱或花钱的行为，都必须被准确记录下来。

Recording: writing down transactions in journals and ledgers. | 记录：在日记账和分类账中写下交易。
Classifying: grouping similar transactions together (e.g. all electricity bills as expenses). | 分类：将同类交易归在一起（例如将所有电费归为费用）。
Summarising: preparing reports like the trial balance and financial statements. | 汇总：编制试算平衡表和财务报表等报告。

2. Who Uses Accounting Information? | 谁在使用会计信息？

Many different people and groups rely on accounting information to make choices. These are called the ‘users’ of accounting.

许多不同的人和群体都依赖会计信息来做决策。他们被称为会计信息的使用者。

Owners and managers: to see if the business is making a profit and to plan for the future. | 所有者和管理者：了解企业是否盈利，并规划未来。
Banks and lenders: to decide whether to give a loan. | 银行和贷款人：决定是否发放贷款。
Government (HMRC): to check the correct amount of tax is paid. | 政府（税务部门）：核查税款是否正确缴纳。
Suppliers and customers: to judge whether the business is reliable and can survive. | 供应商和客户：判断企业是否可靠、能否持续经营。
Investors: to see if they should buy or sell shares. | 投资者：判断是否应该买入或卖出股份。

Knowing who uses accounts helps us understand why accuracy and honesty are so important.

了解信息的使用者，有助于我们明白为什么准确性和诚实如此重要。

3. The Accounting Equation | 会计等式

The most fundamental rule in accounting is the accounting equation. It shows that everything a business owns is funded by what it owes and what the owner has invested.

会计中最基本的法则是会计等式。它表明，企业拥有的一切都是由它所欠的和所有者投入的资金来支撑的。

Assets = Liabilities + Equity

资产 = 负债 + 所有者权益

This equation must always balance. If you know two parts, you can always find the third.

这个等式必须始终保持平衡。如果你知道其中两个部分，总能求出第三部分。

Example: If a business has total assets of £10,000 and liabilities of £4,000, the equity must be £6,000.

例如：如果一家企业拥有总资产 £10,000，负债 £4,000，那么所有者权益必定是 £6,000。

4. Understanding Assets | 理解资产

An asset is something a business owns or controls that has value and can bring future benefit. Assets can be seen and touched (tangible) or not (intangible).

资产是企业拥有或控制的、有价值并能带来未来收益的东西。资产可以是能看见、触摸的（有形资产），也可以是无形的（无形资产）。

Tangible Assets (有形资产)	Intangible Assets (无形资产)
Cash (现金)	Goodwill (商誉)
Inventory (存货)	Patents (专利)
Equipment and machinery (设备与机器)	Trademarks (商标)
Buildings and land (房产与土地)	Computer software (计算机软件)

In Year 7 you will mainly work with tangible assets like cash, inventory and equipment.

在七年级，你主要会接触到现金、存货和设备这类有形资产。

5. Liabilities and Equity | 负债与所有者权益

Liabilities are the debts and obligations of a business — money it owes to others. Equity represents the owner’s claim on the assets after all liabilities are paid.

负债是企业的债务和义务——也就是它欠别人的钱。所有者权益代表的是所有资产偿还全部负债后，所有者享有的剩余权利。

Key examples of liabilities include:

负债的主要例子包括：

Bank loans (银行贷款)
Trade payables — money owed to suppliers (应付账款——欠供应商的钱)
Accrued expenses — bills not yet paid (应计费用——尚未支付的账单)

Equity usually has two main parts for a simple business:

对于一个简单的企业，所有者权益通常包含两个主要部分：

Capital: money the owner puts into the business. | 资本：所有者投入企业的资金。
Retained profit: profits kept in the business rather than taken out. | 留存利润：留在企业里而非被取出的利润。

Remember, assets are always funded by a mix of liabilities and equity.

请记住，资产总是由负债和所有者权益的混合体来提供资金的。

6. Revenue and Expenses | 收入与费用

Revenue is the income earned from a business’s main activities — usually sales of goods or services. It is sometimes called turnover.

收入是来自企业主营活动的所得——通常是销售商品或服务带来的款项。它有时也被称为营业额。

Expenses are the costs a business must pay to run its operations and earn revenue. Common expenses include:

费用是企业为了经营并获取收入而必须支付的成本。常见的费用包括：

Rent (租金)
Wages and salaries (工资与薪金)
Electricity and gas (电费和燃气费)
Advertising (广告费)
Cost of goods sold (销售成本)

Profit is calculated as:

利润的计算方法如下：

Profit = Revenue – Total Expenses

利润 = 收入 – 总费用

If revenue is greater than expenses, the business makes a profit. If expenses are greater, it makes a loss.

如果收入大于费用，企业就盈利；如果费用大于收入，企业便出现亏损。

7. The Double-Entry System | 复式记账系统

The double-entry system is a method where every transaction affects at least two accounts. For each debit entry, there must be an equal and opposite credit entry.

复式记账法是指每笔交易至少影响两个账户的方法。每记录一笔借方，就必须有一笔金额相等、方向相反的贷方记录。

The golden rule:

黄金法则：

Debit the receiver, Credit the giver

借方记接收方，贷方记付出方

For assets and expenses: an increase is a debit, a decrease is a credit. For liabilities, equity and revenue: an increase is a credit, a decrease is a debit.

对于资产和费用：增加记在借方，减少记在贷方。对于负债、所有者权益和收入：增加记在贷方，减少记在借方。

Simple example: buying supplies with cash. Supplies (asset) increases → debit. Cash (asset) decreases → credit.

简单例子：用现金购买办公用品。用品（资产）增加 → 记借方。现金（资产）减少 → 记贷方。

This system keeps the accounting equation balanced at all times.

这套系统确保会计等式在任何时候都保持平衡。

8. Recording in Journals and Ledgers | 日记账与分类账中的记录

Transactions are first recorded in a book called the ‘journal’. This is a chronological diary of all business activities. Then, amounts are posted to ‘ledgers’, which group transactions by account.

交易首先记录在一本叫做“日记账”的簿子里。这是一本按时间顺序反映所有业务活动的日志。随后，金额会被过入“分类账”，也就是按账户分类汇总交易的地方。

Main types of ledgers:

分类账的主要种类：

Sales ledger: records money owed by customers (trade receivables). | 销售分类账：记录客户欠款（应收账款）。
Purchases ledger: records money owed to suppliers (trade payables). | 采购分类账：记录欠供应商的款项（应付账款）。
General ledger: contains all other accounts like cash, equipment, capital and expenses. | 总分类账：包含所有其他账户，如现金、设备、资本和费用。

Each account in a ledger looks like a ‘T-account’ with a left (debit) side and a right (credit) side.

分类账中的每个账户看起来像一个“T 型账户”，左边为借方，右边为贷方。

Being neat and methodical when recording helps prevent errors later.

记录时保持整洁和严谨，有助于日后避免错误。

9. Trial Balance | 试算平衡

A trial balance is a list of all the ledger account balances at a particular date. It is prepared to check that total debits equal total credits.

试算平衡表是截至某一特定日期所有分类账户余额的列表。编制它是为了检查借方总额是否等于贷方总额。

Steps to prepare a trial balance:

编制试算平衡表的步骤：

Find the balance of each ledger account. | 找出每个分类账户的余额。
List debit balances in one column and credit balances in another. | 把借方余额列在一栏，贷方余额列在另一栏。
Add up each column. | 分别加总两栏的金额。
If the two totals are equal, the books are ‘in balance’. | 如果两个总额相等，账簿就“平衡”了。

If the totals do not match, an error has occurred — perhaps a missing entry, transposed figures or a recording mistake.

如果两个总额不相等，就说明出现了差错——可能漏记了某笔分录、数字颠倒或出现了记录错误。

Remember, a balanced trial balance does not guarantee that there are no errors; it only proves that debits equal credits.

请记住，试算平衡表平衡并不能保证完全没有差错，它只能证明借方总额等于贷方总额。

10. Simple Financial Statements | 简单财务报表

From the trial balance, accountants prepare two key financial statements: the income statement and the statement of financial position.

会计人员根据试算平衡表编制两份关键的财务报表：利润表和财务状况表（资产负债表）。

The income statement shows revenue minus expenses over a period of time, telling the story of profit or loss.

利润表展示了一段时间内收入减去费用后的结果，反映了盈利或亏损的情况。

The statement of financial position (also called a balance sheet) is a snapshot of the accounting equation at a specific date, listing assets, liabilities and equity.

财务状况表（也称为资产负债表）是在某一特定日期对会计等式的快照，列示出资产、负债和所有者权益。

For a Year 7 example:

以下是一个七年级实例：

Income Statement for the month ended 31 March

Revenue	£2,000
Less: Expenses	(£1,200)
Profit	£800

Statement of Financial Position as at 31 March

Assets (Cash, inventory, equipment)	£5,000
Liabilities (Loan)	£2,000
Equity	£3,000

These statements help users quickly see the health of a business.

这些报表能帮助使用者快速了解企业的健康状况。

11. Ethics in Accounting | 会计职业道德

Accountants must follow a code of ethics to ensure information is reliable and trustworthy. In Year 7, we learn why honesty matters.

会计人员必须遵守职业道德守则，以确保信息的可靠性和可信度。在七年级，我们会学习为什么诚实如此重要。

Core ethical principles:

核心道德原则：

Integrity: being straightforward and honest in all professional relationships. | 诚信：在所有职业关系中保持直率和诚实。
Objectivity: not letting bias or pressure affect your work. | 客观：不让偏见或压力影响你的工作。
Confidentiality: keeping client information private, unless allowed or required to share it. | 保密：不泄露客户信息，除非获得允许或有法律要求。
Professional behaviour: acting in a way that maintains the good reputation of the profession. | 职业行为：以维护行业良好声誉为准则行事。

Failing to follow these rules can lead to scandals and businesses losing money and trust.

不遵守这些规则可能导致丑闻，使企业蒙受金钱和信任的损失。
