1. What is Accounting? | 什么是会计？
Accounting is the process of recording, classifying and summarising financial transactions to help users make informed decisions. It tells a business how much money it has, what it owes and whether it is making a profit or a loss. Without accounting, it would be impossible to track income, expenses, assets and liabilities.
会计是记录、分类和汇总财务交易的过程，旨在帮助使用者做出明智决策。它告诉企业自身拥有多少资金、欠下多少债务，以及是盈利还是亏损。没有会计，就无法跟踪收入、费用、资产和负债。
In Year 7, we focus on the basic language of accounting and simple record-keeping systems. The main users of accounting information include owners, managers, banks and tax authorities. Learning accounting teaches you to be organised, logical and detail-oriented.
在七年级，我们重点学习会计的基本语言和简单的记账系统。会计信息的主要使用者包括企业主、经理、银行和税务机关。学习会计能让你变得有条理、逻辑清晰且注重细节。
2. The Accounting Equation | 会计等式
The accounting equation is the core of the double-entry system. It states that a business’s assets are always equal to the sum of its liabilities and owner’s equity (capital). This equation must remain in balance after every transaction.
会计等式是复式记账系统的核心。它表明企业的资产总是等于其负债与所有者权益（资本）之和。每笔交易发生后，这一等式都必须保持平衡。
Assets = Liabilities + Capital
资产 = 负债 + 资本
For example, if the owner invests £10,000 into the business, assets (cash) increase by £10,000 and capital increases by £10,000. Both sides remain equal. If the business later takes a loan of £5,000, cash rises by £5,000 and liabilities increase by £5,000. The equation stays balanced.
例如，如果业主向企业投入 10,000 英镑，资产（现金）增加 10,000 英镑，资本也增加 10,000 英镑，两边保持相等。如果企业之后借入 5,000 英镑贷款，现金增加 5,000 英镑，负债也增加 5,000 英镑，等式依然平衡。
3. Assets, Liabilities and Capital | 资产、负债与资本
Assets are resources a business owns or controls that have future economic value. They can be current assets, like cash, inventory and trade receivables, which are expected to be used or turned into cash within one year. Non-current assets, such as buildings and machinery, are held for longer periods.
资产是企业拥有或控制的、具有未来经济价值的资源。它们包括流动资产，如现金、存货和应收账款，预计在一年内使用或变现。非流动资产，如建筑物和机器设备，则持有更长时间。
Liabilities are obligations the business must settle in the future. Current liabilities, like trade payables and bank overdrafts, are due within one year. Non-current liabilities, such as long-term loans, are due after more than one year.
负债是企业必须在未来清偿的债务。流动负债如应付账款和银行透支，在一年内到期。非流动负债如长期借款，在一年后到期。
Capital represents the owner’s stake in the business. It increases when the owner injects funds or the business earns a profit and decreases when the owner withdraws money or the business makes a loss.
资本代表所有者对企业的权益。当业主投入资金或企业盈利时资本增加，当业主提款或企业亏损时资本减少。
4. Double-Entry Bookkeeping | 复式记账法
Double-entry bookkeeping is the method used to record every transaction twice: once as a debit and once as a credit. A debit entry is made on the left side of an account, and a credit entry on the right side. For the system to work, total debits must always equal total credits.
复式记账法是一种将每笔交易记录两次的方法：一次记为借方，一次记为贷方。借方记录在账户的左侧，贷方记录在右侧。要使该系统有效，借方总额必须始终等于贷方总额。
The basic rule for recording transactions is: increase in assets and expenses – debit; increase in liabilities, capital and income – credit. Conversely, a decrease in assets or expenses is credited, while a decrease in liabilities, capital or income is debited.
记录交易的基本规则是：资产和费用增加——记借方；负债、资本和收入增加——记贷方。反之，资产或费用减少则记为贷方，负债、资本或收入减少则记为借方。
Example: buying stationery for £50 in cash. Stationery (expense) increases, so debit the stationery account. Cash (asset) decreases, so credit the cash account. Both sides record £50.
示例：用现金购买 50 英镑文具。文具（费用）增加，借记文具账户；现金（资产）减少，贷记现金账户。双方均记录 50 英镑。
5. Source Documents | 原始凭证
Every accounting entry must be supported by a source document that provides evidence of the transaction. These documents include purchase invoices, sales invoices, receipts, bank statements, credit notes and cheque counterfoils.
每笔会计分录都必须有原始凭证作为交易证据。这些凭证包括采购发票、销售发票、收据、银行对账单、贷项通知单和支票存根。
A purchase invoice is received when goods are bought on credit; it shows the amount owed to a supplier. A sales invoice is issued when goods are sold on credit, showing the amount a customer owes. Receipts prove that cash has been paid or received.
赊购商品时会收到采购发票，显示应付给供应商的金额；赊销商品时会开出销售发票，显示客户应付的金额。收据证明已支付或收到现金。
Source documents are filed carefully because they allow the business to verify transactions, prepare financial records and meet legal requirements. In Year 7, you will learn to identify these documents and understand their purpose.
原始凭证被妥善存档，因为它们能让企业核实交易、编制财务记录并满足法律要求。在七年级，你将学会识别这些凭证并理解其用途。
6. Books of Original Entry | 原始账簿
Before transactions are entered into the ledger, they are first recorded in books of original entry, sometimes called day books. These books summarise similar transactions in chronological order. The main books of original entry are the sales day book, purchases day book, sales returns day book, purchases returns day book, cash book and the general journal.
交易在记入分类账之前，首先会被记录在原始账簿中，有时也称为日记账。这些账簿按时间顺序汇总同类交易。主要的原始账簿有销售日记账、采购日记账、销售退回日记账、采购退回日记账、现金日记账和普通日记账。
The sales day book lists all credit sales using copies of sales invoices. The purchases day book records all credit purchases using suppliers’ invoices. The cash book records all money received and paid, serving as both a book of original entry and a ledger account for cash.
销售日记账利用销售发票副本列示所有赊销业务。采购日记账利用供应商发票记录所有赊购业务。现金日记账记录所有收款和付款，它既是原始账簿，也是现金的分类账账户。
The general journal is used for transactions that do not fit into the other day books, such as correcting errors, recording depreciation or opening entries. Learning to use the correct book of original entry ensures accuracy and efficiency.
普通日记账用于记录不适合其他日记账的交易，例如更正错误、记录折旧或开账分录。学会使用正确的原始账簿能确保准确性与效率。
7. Ledger Accounts | 分类账账户
After transactions are recorded in day books, they are posted to ledger accounts. A ledger account is a T-shaped record with a debit side on the left and a credit side on the right. Each account tracks increases and decreases in a specific item, such as cash, sales, rent or capital.
交易记录在日记账后，将被过账到分类账账户。分类账账户是 T 形记录，左方为借方，右方为贷方。每个账户跟踪特定项目（如现金、销售、租金或资本）的增减变动。
There are three main types of ledger: the sales ledger (records credit customers’ accounts), the purchases ledger (records credit suppliers’ accounts) and the general ledger (contains all remaining accounts, including expenses, income, assets and capital).
分类账主要有三种：销售分类账（记录赊销客户的账户）、采购分类账（记录赊购供应商的账户）和总分类账（包含其余所有账户，包括费用、收入、资产和资本）。
When posting, always ensure the dual effect is maintained. For example, a sale on credit of £200 to A. Jones is recorded as: debit A. Jones account (sales ledger) and credit sales account (general ledger). Practice in drawing up T-accounts is essential.
过账时，务必确保保持双重影响。例如，向 A. Jones 赊销 200 英镑，应记录为：借记 A. Jones 账户（销售分类账），贷记销售收入账户（总分类账）。练习绘制 T 形账户至关重要。
8. The Trial Balance | 试算平衡表
A trial balance is a list of all the ledger account balances at a specific date, divided into debit and credit columns. Its main purpose is to check the arithmetic accuracy of the double-entry records. If total debits equal total credits, the trial balance is said to balance. However, a balanced trial balance does not guarantee there are no errors.
试算平衡表是在某一特定日期列示所有分类账账户余额的表格，分为借方和贷方两栏。其主要目的是检查复式记账记录的算术准确性。如果借方总额等于贷方总额，则称试算平衡表平衡。然而，试算表平衡并不能保证没有错误。
Accounts with debit balances typically include assets and expenses. Accounts with credit balances typically include liabilities, capital and income. The trial balance is prepared from the closing balances of all the T-accounts.
通常，资产和费用类账户持有借方余额。负债、资本和收入类账户持有贷方余额。试算平衡表是根据所有 T 形账户的期末余额编制的。
If the trial balance does not agree, you must check for common errors such as incorrect addition, posting only one side of a transaction, entering different amounts on the debit and credit, or recording a balance on the wrong side. Finding and correcting these errors is a key skill in Year 7.
如果试算表不平，你必须检查常见错误，例如加总错误、仅过账了交易的其中一方、借方和贷方金额不同、或将余额记在了错误的一方。发现并纠正这些错误是七年级的一项关键技能。
9. Introduction to the Income Statement | 利润表简介
The income statement, also called the profit and loss account, shows a business’s financial performance over a period of time. It calculates whether the business has made a profit or a loss by comparing income (mainly sales revenue) with expenses (costs such as rent, wages and electricity).
利润表，也称为损益表，列示企业在一定时期内的财务业绩。它通过比较收入（主要是销售收入）与费用（如租金、工资和电费等成本）来计算企业是盈利还是亏损。
Profit = Total Income − Total Expenses
利润 = 总收入 − 总费用
In Year 7, you will be introduced to a simple income statement format. The top section shows sales revenue, then the cost of goods sold is deducted to give gross profit. Operating expenses are then subtracted to arrive at net profit. Understanding this structure helps you see how each transaction ultimately affects profit.
在七年级，你将接触简单的利润表格式。顶部是销售收入，然后减去销售成本得出毛利润。再减去营业费用得出净利润。理解这一结构有助于你明白每笔交易如何最终影响利润。
10. Introduction to the Statement of Financial Position | 财务状况表简介
The statement of financial position, previously called the balance sheet, shows the financial position of a business at a specific point in time. It lists the assets the business owns, the liabilities it owes and the capital invested by the owner. This statement is a direct reflection of the accounting equation.
财务状况表，以前称为资产负债表，列示企业在某一特定时间点的财务状况。它列出企业拥有的资产、欠下的负债以及业主投入的资本。该报表直接反映了会计等式。
The layout normally has non-current assets at the top, followed by current assets. Then current liabilities are deducted to give net current assets (or working capital). Non-current liabilities are then subtracted, and finally the capital section shows the owner’s equity. The total net assets must equal total capital.
格式通常将非流动资产列于顶部，接着是流动资产。然后减去流动负债，得出流动资产净额（或营运资金）。再减去非流动负债，最后在资本部分列示所有者权益。净资产总额必须等于资本总额。
Learning to classify items correctly between these categories is an important objective for Year 7 students. For example, a delivery van is a non-current asset, while inventory is a current asset. A bank loan due in three years is a non-current liability.
学会正确地在这些类别之间对项目进行分类是七年级学生的一个重要目标。例如，送货车是非流动资产，而存货是流动资产。三年后到期的银行贷款是非流动负债。
11. Key Accounting Terms | 关键会计术语
Building a strong vocabulary is essential in accounting. You should be confident with terms such as debtor (a customer who owes the business money), creditor (a supplier the business owes money to), drawings (money taken out by the owner for personal use), and capital expenditure (spending on non-current assets).
建立扎实的词汇量在会计中至关重要。你应当能熟练运用以下术语：债务人（欠企业款项的客户）、债权人（企业欠其款项的供应商）、提款（业主提取供个人使用的资金）以及资本性支出（用于非流动资产的支出）。
Other key words include revenue expenditure (day-to-day running costs like rent and wages), closing inventory (unsold goods at the end of a period), and depreciation (the reduction in value of a non-current asset over time). Recognising these terms on OCR exam papers will help you answer questions accurately.
其他关键词包括收益性支出（如租金和工资等日常运营成本）、期末存货（期末未售出的商品）和折旧（非流动资产价值随时间减少）。在 OCR 考卷上认出这些术语将帮助你准确作答。
12. Practice and Revision Tips | 练习与复习建议
To succeed in Year 7 OCR Accounting, regular practice is vital. Keep a dedicated notebook for drawing up ledger accounts, trial balances and basic financial statements. Work through past paper questions and always show your workings step by step. This will build your confidence and accuracy under timed conditions.
要在七年级 OCR 会计中取得成功，定期练习至关重要。准备一个专门的笔记本用于绘制分类账账户、试算平衡表和基本财务报表。练习历年真题，并始终逐步展示计算过程。这将在限时条件下建立你的信心和准确性。
Make flashcards for key definitions and the rules of double-entry. Use the accounting equation to check your reasoning after each transaction. When revising, explain concepts aloud or to a study partner; teaching is one of the best ways to learn. Finally, pay close attention to the formats required by your exam board, as neat presentation earns marks.
制作关键定义和复式记账规则的抽认卡。每笔交易后使用会计等式检查你的推理。复习时，大声解释概念或向学习伙伴讲解；教是学的最好方法之一。最后，密切注意考试局要求的格式，整洁的呈现会为你赢得分数。
