📚 Year 9 CCEA Accounting: Vocabulary & Terminology Quick Memorisation Guide | Year 9 CCEA会计:词汇术语速记指南
Mastering accounting starts with a solid understanding of its unique language. This guide provides Year 9 CCEA students with essential vocabulary and clever memory tricks to recall key terms quickly and accurately.
掌握会计始于对其独特语言的扎实理解。本指南为Year 9 CCEA学生提供必备词汇和巧妙的记忆技巧,以便快速准确地回忆关键术语。
1. The Accounting Equation | 会计等式
Assets = Liabilities + Owner’s Equity. This is the fundamental rule of accounting—everything the business owns is financed by what it owes and the owner’s investment.
资产 = 负债 + 所有者权益。这是会计的基本规则——企业拥有的一切资产都来源于负债和所有者的投入。
Mnemonic: Think ‘ALOE vera’. Assets, Liabilities, Owner’s Equity. The plant stays healthy only when the equation balances.
记忆法:想起’芦荟 (ALOE)’。资产、负债、所有者权益。只有等式平衡,这株植物才能保持健康。
Visualise a seesaw: left side (Assets) must always equal right side (Liabilities + Owner’s Equity).
想象一个跷跷板:左边(资产)必须始终等于右边(负债 + 所有者权益)。
Quick check: If A = L + OE, then OE = A – L. Owner’s Equity is what remains after paying all debts.
快速检验:如果 A = L + OE,那么 OE = A – L。所有者权益是偿还所有债务后的剩余权益。
2. Assets: What the Business Owns | 资产:企业拥有什么
An asset is a resource controlled by the business with future economic benefit. Examples: cash, inventory, equipment, and buildings.
资产是企业控制的、具有未来经济利益的资源。例如:现金、存货、设备和建筑物。
Memory aid: ‘Cash In My Drawer’ – Cash, Inventory, Machinery, Debtors (receivables).
记忆辅助:’抽屉里的现金’ — 现金、存货、机器设备、应收账款(债务人)。
Current assets are those expected to be used or turned into cash within one year. Non-current assets last longer than a year.
流动资产是指预计在一年内使用或变现的资产。非流动资产的使用寿命超过一年。
Think CURRENT = quick turnover, like a current in a river flowing fast. NON-CURRENT = long-lasting, like a sturdy bridge.
把 CURRENT 想象成快速周转,像河里的急流。NON-CURRENT 像坚固的桥梁,持久耐用。
Remember: assets are listed on the balance sheet in order of liquidity—how fast they become cash.
记住:资产在资产负债表中按流动性排序——即变现速度。
3. Liabilities: What the Business Owes | 负债:企业欠什么
Liabilities are present obligations arising from past events. In simple terms, debts owed to outsiders.
负债是由过去事项产生的现时义务。简单来说,就是欠外界人员的债务。
Key categories: bank loans, trade payables (creditors), and overdrafts.
主要类别:银行贷款、应付账款(债权人)和透支。
Memory trick: ‘Liabilities = Borrowed Money’. Think of the word ‘liable’—you are liable to pay it back.
记忆窍门:’负债 = 借来的钱’。想想’liable’ (有责任的) 这个单词——你有责任偿还。
Current liabilities must be settled within one year; non-current liabilities are long-term borrowings.
流动负债必须在一年内清偿;非流动负债是长期借款。
Link to the equation: More liabilities mean higher risk, but also may fuel asset growth—always check the balance.
联系等式:负债越多风险越高,但也会推动资产增长——务必检查平衡。
4. Owner’s Equity: The Owner’s Claim | 所有者权益:所有者的权益
Owner’s equity represents the owner’s residual interest in the assets after deducting liabilities. It includes capital invested and retained profits.
所有者权益代表资产扣除负债后由所有者享有的剩余权益。它包括投入的资本和留存利润。
Remember: Equity = Assets – Liabilities. It is what the business really ‘owes’ to the owner.
记住:权益 = 资产 – 负债。这才是企业真正’欠’所有者的部分。
Two main components: Capital (initial investment) and Drawings (money taken out for personal use). Drawings reduce equity.
两个主要组成部分:资本(初始投资)和提款(所有者取出的个人使用资金)。提款会减少权益。
Visualise a pizza: The whole pizza is Assets. The slices given to creditors are Liabilities. The remaining slices are Owner’s Equity—your share.
把一张比萨想象成资产。分给债权人的那些块是负债。剩下的块是所有者权益——归你所有。
5. Revenue and Expenses: Income and Costs | 收入与费用:收益与成本
Revenue (or income) is the money earned from selling goods or providing services. Expenses are the costs incurred to earn that revenue.
收入(或收益)是通过销售商品或提供服务赚取的钱。费用是为赚取这些收入而发生的成本。
Typical revenue: sales, fees, commission. Typical expenses: rent, wages, electricity.
典型的收入:销售、服务费、佣金。典型的费用:租金、工资、电费。
Memory slogan: ‘Revenue is the reward; expenses are the effort.’ Profit = Revenue – Expenses.
记忆口号:’收入是回报;费用是付出的努力。’ 利润 = 收入 – 费用。
Revenue increases equity; expenses decrease equity. That’s why they appear in the income statement, which feeds into capital.
收入增加权益;费用减少权益。这就是它们出现在利润表中并最终影响资本的原因。
Think of a bucket: water in (revenue) fills the bucket, water out (expenses) drains it. What’s left is profit.
想象一个水桶:进水(收入)装满桶,出水(费用)漏走水。剩下的就是利润。
6. Debits and Credits: The Double-Entry Duo | 借方与贷方:复式记账双人组
Every transaction has two sides: a debit (Dr) and a credit (Cr). Debit means left; credit means right. This is the foundation of double-entry bookkeeping.
每笔交易都有两面:借方 (Dr) 和贷方 (Cr)。借方表示左边;贷方表示右边。这是复式记账的基础。
Golden rule: Debits increase assets and expenses; Credits increase liabilities, equity, and revenue. Memorise ‘DEAD CLIC’.
黄金法则:借方增加资产和费用;贷方增加负债、权益和收入。记住’DEAD CLIC’。
DEAD: Debit increases Expenses, Assets, Drawings. CLIC: Credit increases Liabilities, Income, Capital.
DEAD:借方增加费用、资产、提款。CLIC:贷方增加负债、收入、资本。
Visual drill: Write a big ‘T’ account. Left side is ALWAYS Debit, right side is ALWAYS Credit. Never swap.
视觉练习:画一个大’T’型账户。左边永远是借方,右边永远是贷方。永不互换。
Test yourself: You buy a computer with cash. Asset (computer) increases — debit it. Asset (cash) decreases — credit it.
自我测试:你用现金购买了一台电脑。资产(电脑)增加——记借方。资产(现金)减少——记贷方。
7. The Chart of Accounts: Organising the Books | 会计科目表:整理账簿
A chart of accounts is a numbered list of all accounts used by a business. It groups accounts into Assets, Liabilities, Equity, Revenue, and Expenses.
会计科目表是企业使用的所有账户的编号列表。它将账户分为资产、负债、权益、收入和费用。
Typical numbering: 1000s for Assets, 2000s for Liabilities, 3000s for Equity, 4000s for Revenue, 5000s for Expenses.
典型编号:资产类1000号段,负债类2000号段,权益类3000号段,收入类4000号段,费用类5000号段。
Memory: ‘ALERE’ order — Assets, Liabilities, Equity, Revenue, Expenses. Same order as financial statements.
记忆:’ALERE’顺序——资产、负债、权益、收入、费用。与财务报表顺序相同。
Using a chart of accounts makes transactions easier to record and helps avoid errors. Always use the exact account name.
使用会计科目表能让交易记录更轻松并有助于避免错误。务必使用准确的账户名称。
8. Journals and Ledgers: Recording Transactions | 日记账与分类账:记录交易
A journal is the book of original entry where transactions are first recorded in date order. A ledger is the book where entries are posted into specific accounts.
日记账是原始分录簿,交易按日期顺序首次记录在此。分类账是将分录过入特定账户的账簿。
Process: Journal → Ledger → Trial Balance. This is the accounting cycle backbone.
流程:日记账 → 分类账 → 试算平衡表。这是会计循环的支柱。
Memory phrase: ‘Jolly Loud Teachers’ — Journal, Ledger, Trial balance.
记忆短语:’快乐的吵闹老师’ — 日记账 (Journal)、分类账 (Ledger)、试算平衡表 (Trial balance)。
General ledger contains T-accounts for every item. Each T-account shows debits and credits separately.
总分类账包含每个项目的T型账户。每个T型账户分别显示借方和贷方。
When you make a mistake, never erase—use a journal correction entry. This maintains audit trail.
犯错时,绝不擦除——使用日记账更正分录。这能保持审计线索。
9. Trial Balance: Checking the Balance | 试算平衡表:检查平衡
A trial balance is a list of all ledger accounts and their balances at a particular date. Total debits must equal total credits.
试算平衡表是某一特定日期所有分类账账户及其余额的列表。借方总额必须等于贷方总额。
Purpose: to check arithmetic accuracy of double-entry records. It’s like a quick health check for the books.
目的:检查复式记录的算术准确性。就像对账簿进行快速健康检查。
Limitations: A balanced trial balance does NOT guarantee no errors. Omissions, compensating errors, and errors of principle can still exist.
局限性:试算平衡表平衡并不保证没有错误。遗漏、抵销性错误和原则性错误仍可能存在。
Memory: ‘Trial Balance = Total Debits = Total Credits’. Think of a balanced scale; if it tips, find the difference.
记忆:’试算平衡表 = 借方总额 = 贷方总额’。想象一个平衡的天平;如果倾斜,找出差额。
If it doesn’t balance, check transposition errors (e.g., 54 written as 45) and slide errors (e.g., 2500 written as 250).
如果不平衡,检查换位错误(例如54写成45)和滑位错误(例如2500写成250)。
10. Key Financial Statements: Profit & Loss and Balance Sheet | 关键财务报表:损益表与资产负债表
The Income Statement (Profit & Loss) summarises revenue and expenses over a period. It shows whether the business made a profit or loss.
利润表(损益表)汇总了一段时间内的收入和费用。它显示企业是盈利还是亏损。
Format: Sales – Cost of Sales = Gross Profit; Gross Profit – Expenses = Net Profit. Remember the ladder: revenue down to net profit.
格式:销售收入 – 销售成本 = 毛利润;毛利润 – 费用 = 净利润。记住阶梯:从收入一步步下到净利润。
The Balance Sheet (Statement of Financial Position) shows assets, liabilities, and equity at a specific date. Based on the accounting equation.
资产负债表(财务状况表)显示特定日期的资产、负债和权益。基于会计等式。
Balance sheet format: Assets at the top (or left), Liabilities and Equity below (or right). Net Assets = Total Assets – Total Liabilities; must equal Equity.
资产负债表格式:资产在上方(或左侧),负债和权益在下方(或右侧)。净资产 = 总资产 – 总负债;必须等于权益。
Memory link: ‘P&L tells a story of performance; Balance Sheet is a snapshot of position.’
记忆链接:’损益表讲述业绩故事;资产负债表是财务状况的快照。’
