1. Purpose of Accounting | 会计的目的
Accounting is the process of recording, classifying, summarising and interpreting financial transactions. Its main purpose is to provide useful financial information to a variety of stakeholders, including owners, managers, investors, lenders and tax authorities, so they can make informed decisions.
会计是对财务交易进行记录、分类、汇总和解释的过程。其主要目的是向包括所有者、管理层、投资者、贷款人和税务机关在内的各类利益相关者提供有用的财务信息，以便他们做出明智的决策。
Accounting also helps a business to monitor its financial performance and position over time, keep track of what it owes and what is owed to it, and fulfil legal and tax obligations. Without accurate accounting, it would be impossible to assess profitability or plan for the future.
会计还帮助企业持续监控其财务业绩和状况、追踪债务和债权，并履行法律与税务义务。没有准确的会计信息，就不可能评估盈利能力或规划未来。
2. Key Accounting Concepts | 关键会计概念
Accounting concepts are the rules and assumptions that underpin the preparation of financial statements. Key concepts in the WJEC syllabus include: business entity, going concern, accruals (matching), consistency, prudence, materiality, money measurement, historical cost and dual aspect. These ensure financial reports are relevant, reliable and comparable.
会计概念是支撑财务报表编制的规则和假设。WJEC考纲中的关键概念包括：企业主体、持续经营、权责发生制（配比）、一致性、审慎性、重要性、货币计量、历史成本和复式记账（双重影响）。这些概念确保财务报告具有相关性、可靠性和可比性。
The business entity concept states that the business is treated as separate from its owner. Going concern assumes the business will continue to operate in the foreseeable future. Accruals requires income and expenses to be recorded in the period they relate to, not when cash is received or paid.
企业主体概念指出，企业应被视为独立于其所有者的个体。持续经营假设企业在可预见的未来将继续运营。权责发生制要求收入和费用在其归属期间记录，而不是在现金收付时记录。
Prudence means being cautious – recognising all possible losses but not anticipating profits until they are realised. Consistency ensures that the same accounting treatments are applied from one period to the next, making comparisons meaningful.
审慎性意味着保持谨慎——确认所有可能的损失，但在利润实现之前不预计利润。一致性确保各期采用相同的会计处理方法，使比较有意义。
3. The Accounting Equation | 会计等式
The accounting equation forms the foundation of double-entry bookkeeping and the statement of financial position. It states that the total assets of a business are always equal to the sum of its liabilities and owner’s equity. This relationship must hold after every transaction.
会计等式是复式记账和财务状况表的基础。它表明：企业总资产始终等于其负债与所有者权益之和。每笔交易发生之后，这种关系都必须成立。
Assets = Liabilities + Owner’s Equity
资产 = 负债 + 所有者权益
Assets are resources controlled by the business (e.g. cash, inventory, equipment). Liabilities are amounts owed to third parties (e.g. trade payables, bank loans). Owner’s equity represents the owner’s investment and accumulated profits retained in the business.
资产是企业控制的资源（如现金、存货、设备）。负债是欠第三方的金额（如应付账款、银行贷款）。所有者权益代表所有者的投资和企业留存的累积利润。
4. Double-Entry Bookkeeping | 复式记账法
The double-entry system records each transaction twice – once as a debit and once as a credit – reflecting the dual aspect concept. Every transaction affects at least two ledger accounts, and total debits must always equal total credits.
复式记账系统对每笔交易进行双重记录——一次记作借方，一次记作贷方——反映了双重影响概念。每笔交易至少影响两个分类账户，且借方总额必须始终等于贷方总额。
The basic rules for recording transactions in ledger accounts are: increases in assets and expenses are debited, while increases in liabilities, owner’s equity and income are credited. Drawings and cost of sales are also debited when they occur.
分类账户记录交易的基本规则是：资产和费用的增加记借方，而负债、所有者权益和收入的增加记贷方。提现和销售成本发生也记借方。
A simple example: purchasing inventory for cash would debit purchases (expense) and credit cash (asset). Selling goods on credit would debit trade receivables (asset) and credit sales (income). Understanding these rules is essential for constructing accurate ledgers.
一个简单例子：用现金购买存货，则借记采购（费用）、贷记现金（资产）。赊账销售商品，则借记应收账款（资产）、贷记销售收入（收入）。理解这些规则对于建立准确的分类账至关重要。
5. Books of Prime Entry | 原始分录账簿
Before transactions are entered into the ledgers, they are first recorded in books of prime entry (also called day books). These books summarise similar types of transactions and act as the first point of entry. The main day books are: sales day book, purchases day book, sales returns day book, purchases returns day book, cash book and the general journal.
交易在进入分类账之前，会先记录在原始分录账簿（也称日记账）。这些账簿汇总同类交易，是交易的首次记录点。主要的日记账包括：销售日记账、采购日记账、销售退回日记账、采购退回日记账、现金簿和普通日记账。
The cash book serves a dual purpose: it is a book of prime entry for cash and bank transactions, and it also acts as a ledger account. The general journal is used for non-routine entries such as opening entries, correction of errors and adjustments like depreciation.
现金簿具有双重作用：它是记录现金和银行交易的原始分录簿，同时也充当分类账户。普通日记账用于非例行分录，如开设分录、错误更正以及折旧等调整。
Using day books reduces the volume of detail in the general ledger, makes it easier to trace transactions and allows work to be divided among several accounting staff. Totals from day books are posted periodically to the appropriate ledgers.
使用日记账减少了总账中的细节量，便于追踪交易，并可将工作分配给多名会计人员。日记账的合计金额定期过入相应分类账。
6. Ledger Accounts | 分类账
Ledger accounts are where all business transactions are finally classified and stored. The three main ledgers are: the general (or nominal) ledger, which contains accounts for income, expenses, assets, liabilities and capital; the sales (receivables) ledger for customer accounts; and the purchases (payables) ledger for supplier accounts.
分类账是所有企业交易最终归类和储存的地方。三大主要分类账是：总账（或名义账），包含收入、费用、资产、负债和资本账户；销售（应收账款）分类账，用于客户账户；采购（应付账款）分类账，用于供应商账户。
Each ledger account follows the ‘T-account’ format, with debits on the left and credits on the right. At the end of an accounting period, accounts are balanced off and the closing balances are carried forward. Total debits must equal total credits across all ledger accounts.
每个分类账户遵循 “T 型账户”格式，左边是借方，右边是贷方。在一个会计期末，账户结出余额，并将期末余额结转下期。所有分类账户的借方总额必须等于贷方总额。
Separate ledgers make it easier to manage large volumes of data, maintain accuracy, and prepare control accounts that will later assist in checking the arithmetical accuracy of the double-entry system.
分开的分类账更容易管理大量数据、保持准确性，并可编制控制账户，后续帮助检查复式记账系统的算术准确性。
7. Trial Balance | 试算平衡表
A trial balance is a list of all the balances from the general ledger at a particular date, divided into debit and credit columns. Its main purpose is to check the arithmetical accuracy of the double-entry system – if total debits equal total credits, the books are said to ‘balance’.
试算平衡表是在特定日期，将所有总账余额按借方栏和贷方栏列出的清单。其主要目的是检查复式记账系统的算术准确性——如果借方总额等于贷方总额，就说账目“平衡”。
It is important to understand that a balanced trial balance does not prove the absence of all errors. Errors of principle, commission, omission, original entry and compensating errors may still exist even though debits and credits are equal.
重要的是要明白，试算平衡表平衡并不证明没有错误。原则性错误、串户错误、遗漏错误、原始分录错误和抵销性错误仍可能存在，尽管借贷方相等。
The trial balance is used as the starting point for preparing the income statement and statement of financial position. It is normally prepared at the end of an accounting period, after all ledger accounts have been balanced.
试算平衡表被用作编制利润表和财务状况表的起点。它通常在一个会计期结束后、所有分类账结清后编制。
8. Adjustments: Accruals and Prepayments | 调整：应计与预付
The accruals (matching) concept requires that expenses and income should be recorded in the period to which they relate, not when cash is paid or received. This means that at the end of the period, adjustments must be made for amounts owing (accruals) and amounts paid in advance (prepayments).
权责发生制（配比）概念要求，费用和收入应在其所属期间记录，而不是在现金支付或收到时记录。这意味着在期末，必须对欠款（应计）和预付金额（预付）进行调整。
An accrued expense is an expense incurred during the period but not yet paid. It is added to the expense account and shown as a current liability. A prepaid expense is paid in the current period but relates to the next period; it is deducted from the expense and shown as a current asset.
应计费用是本期已发生但尚未支付的费用。它被加记到费用账户，并作为流动负债列示。预付费用是在本期支付但属于下期的费用；它从费用中扣除，并作为流动资产列示。
On the income side, accrued income is earned but not yet received – added and shown as a current asset, while prepaid income is received in advance – deducted from income and shown as a current liability. These adjustments ensure the correct profit for the period is reported.
在收入方面，应计收入是已赚取但尚未收到的收入——加记并列为流动资产；而预付收入是提前收到的收入——从收入中扣除并列为流动负债。这些调整确保报告正确的本期利润。
9. Adjustments: Depreciation | 调整：折旧
Depreciation is the systematic allocation of the cost of a non-current asset over its useful life. It obeys the accruals concept by matching the expense of using the asset to the income it generates. Land is not normally depreciated, but buildings and equipment are.
折旧是在一项非流动资产的预计使用年限内，系统分摊其成本。它遵循权责发生制概念，将使用资产的费用与其产生的收入相配比。土地通常不折旧，但建筑物和设备需要折旧。
The two common methods required by WJEC are the straight-line method and the reducing balance method. The straight-line method charges an equal amount each year:
WJEC要求掌握两种常见方法：直线法和余额递减法。直线法每年计提相等金额：
Annual depreciation = (Cost − Residual value) ÷ Useful life
年折旧额 = (成本 − 残值) ÷ 使用年限
The straight-line method is simple and widely used. The reducing balance method charges a fixed percentage on the net book value each year, giving higher depreciation in earlier years. For example, 20% reducing balance on an asset costing £10,000 gives £2,000 in year one, £1,600 in year two, and so on.
直线法简单且广泛使用。余额递减法每年按账面净值乘以固定百分比计提折旧，前期折旧较高。例如，一项资产成本 £10,000，按20%余额递减，第一年折旧£2,000，第二年£1,600，以此类推。
Accumulated depreciation is shown in the statement of financial position as a deduction from the cost of the non-current asset to arrive at net book value. The annual depreciation charge appears as an expense in the income statement.
累计折旧在财务状况表中作为非流动资产成本的减项列示，得出账面净值。年度折旧费用作为利润表中的一项费用出现。
10. Adjustments: Irrecoverable Debts and Allowances | 调整：坏账与准备
When a trade receivable is certain not to be paid, it is written off as an irrecoverable debt (bad debt). This is debited to the irrecoverable debts expense account and credited to trade receivables, reducing the asset and recognising the loss in the income statement.
当确定一笔应收账款无法收回时，它被注销为坏账。借记坏账费用账户，贷记应收账款，从而减少资产并在利润表中确认损失。
Because businesses may not know which specific customer will default, they create an allowance for doubtful debts at the end of the period. This is a prudent estimate of the amount likely to be uncollectable. The allowance is increased or decreased each year, and the change is charged to the income statement.
由于企业可能无法预知具体哪位客户会违约，他们在期末创建坏账准备。这是对可能无法收回金额的审慎估计。坏账准备每年增加或减少，变动额计入利润表。
The allowance for doubtful debts is deducted from trade receivables in the statement of financial position, so that receivables are stated at their recoverable amount. This follows the prudence concept by not overstating assets.
坏账准备在财务状况表中从应收账款中扣除，使应收账款按其可收回金额列示。这遵循审慎性概念，不高估资产。
11. Financial Statements | 财务报表
For a sole trader, the two key financial statements are the income statement and the statement of financial position. The income statement shows the financial performance over a period, calculating sales minus cost of sales to give gross profit, then subtracting expenses to arrive at net profit.
对于个体经营者，两大关键财务报表是利润表和财务状况表。利润表显示一个期间的财务业绩，计算销售收入减去销售成本得出毛利，再减去各项费用得到净利润。
A simplified income statement format: Sales − Returns inwards = Net sales; Opening inventory + Purchases − Returns outwards − Closing inventory = Cost of sales; Gross profit = Net sales − Cost of sales; then list expenses (including depreciation, irrecoverable debts) to find Net profit.
简化的利润表格式：销售收入 − 销售退回 = 净销售收入；期初存货 + 采购 − 采购退回 − 期末存货 = 销售成本；毛利 = 净销售收入 − 销售成本；然后列出各项费用（包括折旧、坏账），得出净利润。
The statement of financial position presents the assets, liabilities and owner’s equity at a single point in time, following the accounting equation. Non-current assets are listed first (with accumulated depreciation deducted), then current assets; liabilities are split into current and non-current.
财务状况表在某一时点列示资产、负债和所有者权益，遵循会计等式。首先列出非流动资产（减去累计折旧），然后流动资产；负债分为流动负债和非流动负债。
The owner’s capital section shows the opening capital, plus net profit, less drawings, to give closing capital, which balances the statement. Both statements are linked: net profit from the income statement is added to the capital in the statement of financial position.
所有者资本部分显示期初资本，加上净利润，减去提现，得出期末资本，使报表平衡。两张报表相互关联：利润表中的净利润被加到财务状况表的资本中。
12. Bank Reconciliation | 银行对账
A bank reconciliation is a comparison between the business’s cash book (bank columns) and the bank statement received from the bank. Differences often arise due to timing – for example, unpresented cheques (issued but not yet cleared) and lodgements not yet credited by the bank.
银行对账是将企业的现金簿（银行栏目）与收到的银行对账单进行比较。差异通常由于时间差造成——例如，未兑现支票（已签发但尚未清算）和银行尚未入账的存款。
Other items that need to be adjusted include bank charges and interest credited by the bank, which may not yet be recorded in the cash book. The procedure is to update the cash book for these items first, then prepare a bank reconciliation statement to reconcile the updated cash book balance with the bank statement balance.
其他需要调整的项目包括银行手续费和银行记入的利息，这些可能尚未记录在现金簿中。程序是首先用这些项目更新现金簿，然后编制银行对账表，将更新后的现金簿余额与银行对账单余额进行调节。
A typical reconciliation format starts with the bank statement balance, adds unpresented lodgements, subtracts unpresented cheques, and arrives at the corrected balance – which must equal the updated cash book balance. This process helps detect errors and fraud, and confirms the true bank position.
典型的对账格式从银行对账单余额开始，加上未入账存款，减去未兑现支票，得到调节后余额——该余额必须等于更新后的现金簿余额。此过程有助于发现错误和舞弊，并确认真实的银行存款状况。
