1. What is Accounting? | 什么是会计？
Accounting is the systematic process of recording, classifying, summarising and interpreting financial transactions to provide useful information for decision-making. It is often called the ‘language of business’ because it communicates the financial health of an organisation.
会计是系统地记录、分类、汇总和解释财务交易的过程，旨在为决策提供有用信息。它常被称为“商业的语言”，因为它传递了一个组织的财务健康状况。
The key users of accounting information include owners, managers, investors, lenders, suppliers, customers and government agencies. Each group relies on accurate financial data to make informed choices, such as whether to invest, extend credit or assess tax liabilities.
会计信息的主要使用者包括所有者、管理层、投资者、贷款人、供应商、客户和政府机构。每个群体都依赖准确的财务数据来做出明智的决策，例如是否投资、提供信贷或评估纳税义务。
At Year 9 level, the focus is on financial accounting, which deals with recording past transactions and preparing final accounts, rather than management accounting, which helps managers plan for the future.
在 Year 9 阶段，重点是财务会计，它涉及记录过去的交易和编制最终账目，而非管理会计——后者帮助管理层规划未来。
2. The Accounting Equation | 会计等式
The accounting equation forms the backbone of the double-entry system. It shows that everything the business owns (assets) is funded either by the owner (capital) or by external parties (liabilities).
会计等式构成了复式记账系统的支柱。它表明企业拥有的所有东西（资产）要么由所有者出资（资本），要么由外部各方出资（负债）。
Assets = Capital + Liabilities
资产 = 资本 + 负债
This equation must always balance. If a business buys a vehicle for $10,000 by borrowing from a bank, assets (vehicle) increase by $10,000 and liabilities (bank loan) increase by $10,000, keeping the equation in equilibrium.
这个等式必须始终保持平衡。如果企业通过银行贷款购买了一辆价值 10,000 美元的汽车，资产（汽车）增加 10,000 美元，负债（银行贷款）增加 10,000 美元，等式保持平衡。
The equation can be rearranged to calculate capital: Capital = Assets − Liabilities. This shows the owner’s residual interest in the business after all debts are settled.
等式可以变形为：资本 = 资产 − 负债。它显示了清偿所有债务后所有者在企业中的剩余权益。
| Transaction 交易 |
Effect on Assets 对资产的影响 |
Effect on Capital/Liabilities 对资本/负债的影响 |
|---|---|---|
| Buy inventory with cash 用现金购买存货 |
+ Inventory, − Cash 存货增加，现金减少 |
No change 无变化 |
| Owner invests additional cash 所有者追加现金投资 |
+ Cash (Asset) 现金增加 |
+ Capital 资本增加 |
| Repay a loan 偿还贷款 |
− Cash 现金减少 |
− Liability 负债减少 |
3. Source Documents | 原始凭证
Every transaction recorded in the accounting books must be supported by a source document. These documents provide evidence of the transaction and ensure accuracy and reliability.
会计账簿中记录的每一笔交易都必须有原始凭证作为支撑。这些凭证提供了交易的证据，确保准确性与可靠性。
Common source documents include invoices (issued when goods are sold on credit), receipts (proof of payment), debit notes (request for a credit note), credit notes (issued when goods are returned), cheque counterfoils and bank statements.
常见的原始凭证包括发票（赊销商品时开具）、收据（付款凭证）、借记通知单（要求贷记通知单）、贷记通知单（退货时开具）、支票存根和银行对账单。
For Year 9, you need to recognise each document and understand its purpose. For example, an invoice tells the buyer how much they owe, while a credit note reduces the amount owed if goods are damaged or incorrect.
在 Year 9，你需要识别每种凭证并理解其用途。例如，发票告诉买方所欠金额，而如果商品损坏或发错，贷记通知单则会减少欠款。
Accurate filing of source documents is essential for preparing accounts and for audit trails. Never record a transaction without a valid document.
妥善归档原始凭证对于编制账目和审计追踪至关重要。切勿在缺少有效凭证的情况下记录交易。
4. Double-Entry Bookkeeping | 复式记账法
Double-entry bookkeeping is the method that ensures the accounting equation stays balanced. Every transaction is recorded twice: once as a debit (Dr) and once as a credit (Cr). The total debits must always equal total credits.
复式记账法是确保会计等式始终保持平衡的方法。每一笔交易都被记录两次：一次作为借方，一次作为贷方。借方总额必须始终等于贷方总额。
The rules of double-entry are based on the type of account. To increase an asset or expense, you debit the account. To increase a liability, capital or income account, you credit it.
复式记账的规则基于账户类型。要增加资产或费用，借记该账户；要增加负债、资本或收入，则贷记该账户。
| Account Type 账户类型 |
To Increase 增加时 |
To Decrease 减少时 |
|---|---|---|
| Assets 资产 | Debit 借方 | Credit 贷方 |
| Expenses 费用 | Debit 借方 | Credit 贷方 |
| Liabilities 负债 | Credit 贷方 | Debit 借方 |
| Capital 资本 | Credit 贷方 | Debit 借方 |
| Income/Revenue 收入 | Credit 贷方 | Debit 借方 |
For example, when a business sells goods for cash, you debit the Cash account (asset increases) and credit the Sales account (income increases). When paying rent, you debit Rent Expense and credit Cash.
例如，企业以现金销售商品时，借记现金账户（资产增加），贷记销售收入账户（收入增加）。支付租金时，借记租金费用，贷记现金。
Every transaction is first recorded in a journal, which shows the accounts to be debited and credited. The journal entry is then posted to the ledger accounts.
每笔交易首先在日记账中记录，明确借记和贷记的账户。然后日记账分录会被过账到分类账账户中。
5. Ledger Accounts and Balancing | 分类账账户与结平
Ledger accounts are the individual records for each type of asset, liability, capital, income or expense. The T-account format has a left side (the debit side) and a right side (the credit side).
分类账账户是针对每类资产、负债、资本、收入或费用的单独记录。T 型账户格式左侧为借方，右侧为贷方。
Entries are posted from the journal to the relevant ledger accounts. At the end of a period, many accounts need to be balanced off. This means we calculate the difference between the total debits and total credits and carry down the balance to the next period.
分录从日记账过账到相关的分类账账户。在期末，许多账户需要结平。这意味着计算借方总额和贷方总额之间的差额，并将余额结转至下一期。
For example, if a Bank account has total debits of $5,000 and total credits of $3,200, the balancing figure is $1,800 on the credit side (written as ‘Balance c/d’). This $1,800 is then brought down as a debit balance on the first line of the new period (‘Balance b/d’). A debit balance indicates money in the bank.
例如，如果银行账户的借方总额为 5,000 美元，贷方总额为 3,200 美元，则余额数字为贷方 1,800 美元（记为“结转余额”）。这 1,800 美元随后作为新期间首行的借方余额（“承前余额”）。借方余额表示银行里有资金。
The ability to correctly balance off accounts and identify whether the balance is a debit or credit is a key skill tested in Year 9 examinations.
正确结平账户并判断余额是借方还是贷方的能力，是 Year 9 考试中考查的关键技能。
6. The Trial Balance | 试算平衡表
A trial balance is a list of all the ledger account balances at a specific date. It is prepared to check the arithmetic accuracy of the double-entry records. If total debits equal total credits, the trial balance is said to ‘balance’.
试算平衡表是在特定日期列示所有分类账账户余额的清单。编制它旨在检查复式记录的计算准确性。如果借方总额等于贷方总额，试算平衡表就“平衡”了。
Even when a trial balance balances, there may still be errors. Errors that do not affect the trial balance include omission, commission, principle, original entry and compensating errors. Errors that cause an imbalance include single-entry postings or calculation mistakes in a ledger account.
即使试算平衡表平衡了，可能仍有错误存在。不影响试算平衡表的错误包括遗漏、代用、原则性、原始分录和抵消性错误。导致不平衡的错误包括单边过账或分类账中的计算错误。
In Year 9, you will learn how to prepare a simple trial balance from given ledger balances and identify the types of errors that might occur. Understanding this will prepare you for the more complex error correction required in later years.
在 Year 9，你将学习如何根据给定的分类账余额编制简单的试算平衡表，并识别可能发生的错误类型。理解这些内容能为你今后学习更复杂的错误更正做好准备。
7. Income Statement | 损益表
The income statement (sometimes called the trading and profit and loss account) reports a business’s financial performance over a period. It shows whether the business made a profit or loss.
损益表（有时称为贸易和损益账户）报告企业在一个时期内的财务业绩。它展示了企业是盈利还是亏损。
The first section is the trading account, which calculates gross profit:
第一部分是贸易账户，计算毛利：
Gross Profit = Sales − Cost of Sales
毛利 = 销售收入 − 销售成本
Cost of sales is usually calculated as: Opening Inventory + Purchases − Purchase Returns − Closing Inventory. If there are carriage inwards or other direct costs, they are added to purchases.
销售成本通常计算为：期初存货 + 购货 − 购货退回 − 期末存货。如有进货运费或其他直接成本，也加入购货中。
The second section lists all operating expenses (e.g., rent, salaries, advertising) and subtracts them from gross profit to arrive at net profit.
第二部分列示所有经营费用（如租金、工资、广告费），并从毛利中扣除以得出净利润。
Net Profit = Gross Profit − Total Expenses
净利润 = 毛利 − 总费用
Year 9 students are expected to prepare a simple income statement in vertical format, correctly classifying items and showing all workings.
Year 9 学生需要以垂直格式编制简单的损益表，正确分类项目并展示所有计算过程。
8. Statement of Financial Position | 财务状况表
The statement of financial position (formerly called the balance sheet) shows the business’s financial position at a specific date. It lists what the business owns (assets) and owes (liabilities), with the difference representing the owner’s capital.
财务状况表（以前称为资产负债表）反映企业在特定日期的财务状况。它列示了企业拥有的（资产）和欠下的（负债），两者之差代表所有者资本。
Assets are classified as non-current (long-term, e.g., equipment, vehicles) and current (short-term, e.g., inventory, trade receivables, cash). Liabilities are similarly split into non-current (e.g., bank loan) and current (e.g., trade payables, bank overdraft).
资产分为非流动资产（长期，如设备、车辆）和流动资产（短期，如存货、应收账款、现金）。负债同样分为非流动负债（如银行贷款）和流动负债（如应付账款、银行透支）。
The structure follows the accounting equation, often presented in a vertical format: Non-current assets + Net current assets (current assets − current liabilities) − non-current liabilities = Capital. Net assets must equal the total capital section, which includes opening capital, net profit (or loss) and drawings.
结构遵循会计等式，通常以垂直格式呈现：非流动资产 + 净流动资产（流动资产 − 流动负债）− 非流动负债 = 资本。净资产必须等于资本总额部分，其中包括期初资本、净利润（或亏损）和提款。
An accurate statement of financial position confirms that the dual aspect of every transaction has been properly recorded. It is a vital tool for assessing liquidity and solvency.
一份准确的财务状况表证实了每笔交易的双重影响已被正确记录。它是评估流动性和偿债能力的重要工具。
9. Key Accounting Concepts | 关键会计概念
Accounting concepts are the ground rules that accountants follow when preparing financial statements. They ensure consistency, reliability and comparability of financial information.
会计概念是会计人员在编制财务报表时所遵循的基本规则。它们确保了财务信息的一致性、可靠性和可比性。
The business entity concept states that the business is separate from its owner. Only the business’s transactions are recorded, not the owner’s personal expenses. The going concern concept assumes the business will continue to operate for the foreseeable future, so assets are valued at cost rather than break-up value.
会计主体概念指出，企业与其所有者是分离的。只记录企业的交易，而不记录所有者的个人支出。持续经营概念假设企业在可预见的未来将继续经营，因此资产按成本而非清算价值计价。
The accruals (matching) concept requires revenues and expenses to be recorded in the period they are earned or incurred, not when cash is received or paid. The consistency concept means that once an accounting method is chosen, it should be applied consistently from year to year.
权责发生制（配比）概念要求收入和费用在它们赚取或发生的期间记录，而非收到或支付现金时。一致性概念意味着一旦选择了某种会计方法，就应年复一年地一贯应用。
The prudence concept dictates that profits should not be anticipated, but all potential losses must be accounted for as soon as they are known. Year 9 students must be able to explain these concepts and identify how they apply in simple scenarios.
审慎性概念规定，不应预期利润，但所有潜在损失一旦得知就必须予以确认。Year 9 学生必须能够解释这些概念，并识别它们在简单情境中的应用。
10. Banking Transactions and Petty Cash | 银行交易与零用现金
Most businesses use a bank account, and the cash book serves as both a book of prime entry and a ledger account for cash and bank transactions. A two-column cash book records both cash and bank columns, while a three-column cash book also includes discount columns.
大多数企业使用银行账户，而现金簿既是原始记录簿，又是现金和银行交易的分类账账户。双栏式现金簿记录现金和银行两栏，三栏式现金簿还包括折扣栏。
When the cash book is updated with the bank statement, any differences may require a bank reconciliation statement. At Year 9, students learn to compare the cash book with the bank statement and identify reconciling items such as unpresented cheques and bank charges.
当现金簿与银行对账单核对更新时，任何差异都可能需要编制银行对账表。在 Year 9，学生将学习比较现金簿和银行对账单，并识别诸如未兑现支票和银行手续费等对账项目。
Petty cash is a small amount of cash kept on premises for minor expenses (e.g., stationery, postage). The imprest system ensures that the petty cashier is reimbursed for exactly the amount spent, restoring the float to its original level. The petty cash book records all small payments, and the totals are later posted to the general ledger.
零用现金是为小额开支（如文具、邮资）而保存在手头的一小笔现金。定额备用金制度确保零用现金出纳员按其支出的金额得到报销，使备用金恢复至原有水平。零用现金簿记录所有小额付款，其合计总额稍后过账至总分类账。
Understanding these cash control mechanisms is crucial for safeguarding assets and maintaining accurate financial records in any business.
理解这些现金控制机制对于保护资产和在任何企业中维护准确的财务记录至关重要。
