1. Introduction to Accounting | 会计入门

Accounting is often called the ‘language of business’. It is the process of identifying, measuring, recording, and communicating financial information about a business to help users make informed decisions. Without accounting, it would be impossible to know whether a business is making a profit or incurring a loss.

会计常被称为“商业的语言”。它是一个识别、计量、记录并传递企业财务信息的过程，以帮助使用者做出明智的决策。没有会计，就无法得知企业是在盈利还是在亏损。

The main users of accounting information include owners, managers, investors, lenders, government agencies, and suppliers. Each group uses financial data in different ways – for example, a bank will check a company’s income statement before granting a loan, while owners look at profits to decide whether to reinvest or withdraw funds.

会计信息的主要使用者包括所有者、经理、投资者、贷款人、政府机构和供应商。每个群体以不同方式使用财务数据——例如，银行在发放贷款前会查看公司的利润表，而所有者则根据利润决定是再投资还是提取资金。

2. Basic Accounting Concepts | 基本会计概念

To ensure accounting information is reliable and comparable, accountants follow a set of underlying concepts (also called principles). At Year 9 level, the most important are the business entity concept, the historical cost concept, the going concern concept, and the accruals basis.

为确保会计信息可靠且可比，会计师会遵循一套基本概念（也称原则）。在九年级阶段，最重要的是企业主体概念、历史成本概念、持续经营概念和权责发生制基础。

The business entity concept states that the business is treated as separate from its owner. The owner’s personal transactions must never be mixed with the business records. Only business transactions are entered into the accounts.

企业主体概念指出，企业应被视作独立于其所有者的实体。所有者的个人交易决不能与企业记录混在一起，只有企业交易才能记入账目。

The historical cost concept requires assets to be recorded at their original purchase price, not at their current market value. This provides an objective, verifiable figure and avoids bias or guesswork in the books.

历史成本概念要求资产按其原始购买价格而非当前市场价值入账，这提供了一个客观、可核实的数字，避免了账目中的偏见或猜测。

The going concern concept assumes that the business will continue to operate in the foreseeable future. Therefore, assets are not valued at forced-sale prices, and prepaid expenses are spread over the periods they benefit.

持续经营概念假设企业将在可预见的未来继续经营。因此，资产不以强制清算价格计价，预付费用也会在受益期内摊销。

3. The Accounting Equation | 会计等式

The accounting equation is the foundation of the double‑entry system. It is expressed as:

会计等式是复式记账系统的基础，它表示为：

Assets = Liabilities + Owner’s Equity

资产 = 负债 + 所有者权益

Assets are resources controlled by the business (such as cash, inventory, or equipment). Liabilities are amounts owed to outsiders (like bank loans or trade payables). Owner’s equity represents the owner’s financial interest in the business, including capital introduced and retained profits.

资产是企业控制的资源（如现金、存货或设备），负债是欠外部各方的金额（如银行贷款或应付账款），所有者权益代表所有者在企业中的财务利益，包括投入资本和留存利润。

Every transaction has a dual effect that keeps the equation in balance. For example, if a business borrows $5 000 from a bank, assets (cash) increase by $5 000 and liabilities (bank loan) increase by $5 000. The equation remains equal.

每笔交易都会产生双重影响，使等式保持平衡。例如，如果一家企业向银行贷款 5 000 美元，资产（现金）增加 5 000 美元，同时负债（银行贷款）增加 5 000 美元，等式仍然相等。

4. Double-Entry Bookkeeping | 复式记账法

Double‑entry bookkeeping is the method used to record transactions so that the accounting equation always balances. Every transaction is recorded twice – once as a debit and once as a credit – in at least two different accounts.

复式记账法是用来记录交易的一种方法，以保证会计等式始终平衡。每笔交易至少在两个不同的账户中被记录两次——一次作为借方记录，一次作为贷方记录。

The golden rules of double‑entry are:

复式记账的黄金法则如下：

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

资产类：增加记借方，减少记贷方。
负债及权益类：增加记贷方，减少记借方。
收入类：增加记贷方，减少记借方。
费用类：增加记借方，减少记贷方。

Remember that the total value of debits must always equal the total value of credits for every journal entry and for the trial balance as a whole.

请记住，就每笔日记账分录以及整个试算平衡表而言，借方总额必须始终等于贷方总额。

5. Source Documents | 原始凭证

Before a transaction can be recorded, there must be evidence that it occurred. This evidence is called a source document. Common examples include invoices, receipts, credit notes, cheques, and bank statements.

在记录交易之前，必须有证据表明该交易确实发生。这些证据被称为原始凭证。常见的例子包括发票、收据、贷项通知单、支票和银行对账单。

Each source document contains key details such as the date, the amount, the names of the parties involved, and the nature of the transaction. Accountants use these documents to determine what to debit and what to credit.

每份原始凭证都包含关键细节，例如日期、金额、相关方名称和交易性质。会计师依据这些凭证来确定应借记和应贷记什么科目。

Source documents also serve as legal proof and are essential for audit trails. In Year 9, you will learn to identify the correct source document for common transactions – for instance, a sales invoice is issued when goods are sold on credit, while a receipt confirms that cash has been received.

原始凭证还能作为法律证明，对审计追踪至关重要。在九年级，你将学会辨别常见交易所对应的正确原始凭证——例如，赊销货物时开具销售发票，而收款收据则确认已收到现金。

6. Books of Prime Entry | 原始分录簿

Transactions are first recorded in books of prime entry (also known as journals) before being posted to the general ledger. The main books of prime entry for Year 9 are the sales journal, purchases journal, cash book, and general journal.

交易首先会被记录在原始分录簿（也称日记账）中，然后再过账到总分类账。九年级阶段主要的原始分录簿有销售日记账、采购日记账、现金簿和普通日记账。

The sales journal records credit sales, the purchases journal records credit purchases, and the cash book records all cash and bank transactions. The general journal is used for transactions that do not fit into the other specialised journals, such as correction of errors or opening entries.

销售日记账记录赊销，采购日记账记录赊购，现金簿记录所有现金和银行存款交易。普通日记账用于记录其他专用日记账不能涵盖的交易，例如更正错误或期初分录。

Using books of prime entry helps to reduce the volume of detail in the ledger and allows for a clear audit trail. Each line in a journal must show the accounts to be debited and credited along with a brief narrative.

使用原始分录簿有助于减少总账中的详细信息量，并使审计追踪更加清晰。日记账中的每一行都必须列明应借和应贷的账户，并附上简要说明。

7. Ledger Accounts and T-Accounts | 分类账和T型账

Once transactions are recorded in journals, they are posted to the general ledger. A ledger account is often represented as a T‑account, with a left side for debits and a right side for credits.

交易在日记账中记录完成后，便会被过账到总分类账。分类账账户通常以T型账的形式表示，左侧记录借方，右侧记录贷方。

Each asset, liability, equity, income, and expense item has its own T‑account. At the end of an accounting period, all the T‑accounts are balanced – the total debits and credits are compared, and the balance is carried forward.

每项资产、负债、权益、收入和费用都有各自的T型账。到会计期末，所有T型账都要进行结账——将借方和贷方总额进行比较，余额则结转至下期。

If total debits exceed total credits, the account has a debit balance (common for assets and expenses). If total credits exceed debits, it has a credit balance (typical for liabilities and income).

如果借方总额超过贷方总额，该账户即有借方余额（常见于资产和费用类账户）；若贷方总额超过借方，则产生贷方余额（通常见于负债和收入类账户）。

8. Trial Balance | 试算平衡表

A trial balance is a list of all ledger account balances at a particular date, arranged in two columns – debit balances in one column and credit balances in the other. Its main purpose is to check the arithmetical accuracy of the double‑entry records.

试算平衡表是某一特定日期所有分类账账户余额的列表，按两列排布——一列为借方余额，另一列为贷方余额。其主要目的是检查复式记录在算术上的准确性。

If the total of the debit column equals the total of the credit column, the books are said to be ‘in balance’. However, a balanced trial balance does not guarantee that there are no errors – a transaction could have been omitted entirely or recorded in the wrong accounts but still balance.

如果借方栏总额等于贷方栏总额，则称账簿“平衡”。不过，试算表平衡并不能保证没有错误——一笔交易可能被完全遗漏或记入错误账户，但仍能保持总额平衡。

Here is a simple example of a trial balance:

以下是一个简单的试算平衡表示例：

Account Name	Debit (€)	Credit (€)
Cash at bank	12 500
Equipment	8 000
Trade payables		3 200
Capital		15 000
Sales		5 500
Rent expense	3 200
Totals	23 700	23 700

The totals match, so the trial balance is arithmetically correct.

双方总额相等，因此该试算表在算术上是正确的。

9. Income Statement Basics | 利润表基础

The income statement (also called the profit and loss account) summarises a business’s revenues and expenses over a period of time to calculate net profit or loss. It follows the simple structure:

利润表（也称损益表）汇总了一段时间内企业的收入与费用，用以计算净利润或净亏损。它遵循如下的简单结构：

Revenue – Expenses = Net Profit (or Loss)

收入 – 费用 = 净利润（或净亏损）

Revenue includes sales of goods or services. Expenses are costs incurred in running the business, such as rent, wages, electricity, and advertising. Cost of sales is deducted from revenue to arrive at gross profit before other expenses.

收入包括销售商品或提供服务的所得。费用是经营企业所发生的成本，如租金、工资、电费和广告费等。从收入中减去销售成本便得到毛利，然后再扣除其他费用。

At Year 9 level, you will typically prepare a simple trading and profit and loss account in a vertical format. Remember to label the period clearly, for example ‘for the year ended 31 December 2025’.

在九年级阶段，你通常会以垂直格式编制一份简易的购销损益表。请记得清晰标注期间，例如“截至2025年12月31日止年度”。

10. Statement of Financial Position Basics | 资产负债表基础

The statement of financial position (formerly called the balance sheet) shows the assets, liabilities, and owner’s equity of a business at a specific point in time. It reflects the accounting equation: Assets = Liabilities + Equity.

财务状况表（以前称为资产负债表）列示了企业在某一特定时点的资产、负债和所有者权益。它体现了会计等式：资产 = 负债 + 权益。

Assets are usually split into current assets (e.g., cash, inventory, trade receivables) and non‑current assets (e.g., machinery, buildings). Similarly, liabilities are divided into current liabilities (e.g., trade payables, bank overdraft) and non‑current liabilities (e.g., long‑term loans).

资产通常分为流动资产（如现金、存货、应收账款）和非流动资产（如机器设备、房屋建筑）。同样，负债也分为流动负债（如应付账款、银行透支）和非流动负债（如长期贷款）。

The owner’s equity section consists of the original capital introduced plus any retained profit from the income statement. The statement must be headed with the business name and the exact date, for instance ‘as at 31 December 2025’.

所有者权益部分包括投入的原始资本，加上来自利润表的留存利润。该报表的标题必须注明企业名称和确切日期，例如“截至2025年12月31日”。

11. Capital and Revenue Expenditure | 资本性支出与收益性支出

Distinguishing between capital and revenue expenditure is an important skill. Capital expenditure is money spent on acquiring, improving, or maintaining non‑current assets that will benefit the business for more than one accounting period – for example, buying a delivery van or adding an extension to a factory.

区分资本性支出与收益性支出是一项重要技能。资本性支出是指用于取得、改良或维护非流动资产的开支，这些资产将使企业在多个会计期间受益——例如，购买送货车或扩建厂房。

Revenue expenditure, on the other hand, is spending on day‑to‑day running costs, such as repairs, fuel, wages, or rent. These expenses are charged to the income statement in the period they are incurred and are not added to the asset cost.

另一方面，收益性支出是日常运营成本方面的开支，例如维修费、燃油费、工资或租金。这些费用在其发生期间记入利润表，不计入资产成本。

Treating capital expenditure as revenue expenditure (or vice versa) can distort profit and asset values, so it is crucial to classify costs correctly.

若将资本性支出误作收益性支出处理（或反之），会扭曲利润和资产价值，因此正确分类成本至关重要。

12. Ethics and Accuracy in Accounting | 会计伦理与准确性

Accounting must be carried out with honesty, objectivity, and professional care. Business owners and stakeholders rely on financial reports to make decisions, so the information must be truthful and free from material error. Even at Year 9, you are expected to practise accurate arithmetic and clear presentation.

会计工作必须秉持诚实、客观和专业审慎的态度。企业主和利益相关方都依赖财务报告来做决策，因此信息必须真实且无重大错误。甚至在九年级，就要求你做到计算准确、列报清晰。

Common ethical principles include confidentiality (not sharing client information without permission), integrity (being straightforward and honest), and professional competence (keeping your knowledge up to date). In the classroom, this translates to checking your work, following the double‑entry rules faithfully, and never falsifying data to ‘balance’ a trial balance artificially.

常见的伦理原则包括保密性（未经允许不得泄露客户信息）、诚信性（直率诚实）和专业胜任能力（与时俱进更新知识）。在课堂上，这意味着检查你的作业、忠实地遵循复式记账规则，绝不以造假的方式“做平”试算表。
