1. The Fundamentals of Accounting and the Accounting Equation | 会计基本概念与会计方程式
Accounting is the process of recording, classifying, and summarising financial transactions to provide useful information for decision-making. It tracks the financial performance and position of a business.
会计是对财务交易进行记录、分类和汇总的过程，旨在为决策提供有用信息。它追踪企业的财务业绩和财务状况。
The accounting equation forms the foundation of the double-entry system: Asset = Capital + Liabilities. This can be expanded to Asset = Capital + Liabilities + (Income – Expenses) to reflect the effect of trading results.
会计方程式是复式记账系统的基础：资产 = 资本 + 负债。它可以扩展为资产 = 资本 + 负债 + (收入 – 费用)，以反映经营成果的影响。
Capital represents the owner’s stake in the business, while liabilities are obligations to external parties. Both sources finance the acquisition of assets.
资本代表所有者对企业的投入，负债则是对外部的义务。这两者共同为购买资产提供资金。
2. Double-Entry Bookkeeping and General Ledger | 复式记账与总分类账
Every transaction has a dual effect and is recorded using the double-entry principle: for every debit entry, there must be an equal and opposite credit entry.
每笔交易都有双重影响，遵循复式记账原则：每一笔借记必有等额的贷记。
The rules of double-entry: Assets and expenses increase on the debit side, while liabilities, capital, and income increase on the credit side.
复式记账规则：资产和费用增加记借方，负债、资本和收入增加记贷方。
Transactions are posted to the general ledger, which consists of individual ‘T’ accounts. Each ‘T’ account has a debit side (left) and a credit side (right).
交易被过账到总分类账，总分类账由一个个“T”形账户组成。每个“T”形账户有借方（左）和贷方（右）。
3. Source Documents and Books of Prime Entry | 原始凭证与特种日记账
Source documents provide evidence of business transactions. Examples include sales invoices, purchase invoices, credit notes, debit notes, receipts, and bank statements.
原始凭证为商业交易提供证据，例如销售发票、采购发票、贷项凭证、借项凭证、收据和银行对账单。
Books of prime entry are where transactions are first recorded before being posted to the ledger. The main books are: sales journal, purchases journal, sales returns journal, purchases returns journal, cash book, and the general journal.
特种日记账是交易首次记录的地方，然后才过账到分类账。主要账簿有：销售日记账、采购日记账、销售退回日记账、采购退回日记账、现金簿和普通日记账。
The cash book serves as both a book of prime entry and a ledger account, recording all cash and bank transactions. It can be a two-column or three-column cash book with discount columns.
现金簿既是特种日记账，也是分类账户，记录所有现金和银行交易。它可以有两栏式或三栏式现金簿，包括折扣栏。
4. The Trial Balance | 试算表
A trial balance is a list of all ledger account balances at a specific date, with debit and credit columns. Its purpose is to check the arithmetic accuracy of the double-entry records.
试算表是在特定日期列示所有分类账账户余额的列表，分借方和贷方栏。其目的是检验复式记录的算术准确性。
If total debits equal total credits, the trial balance is in balance. However, a balanced trial balance does not guarantee that no errors exist, as errors of omission, commission, principle, and compensating errors may still be present.
如果借方总额等于贷方总额，试算表平衡。但平衡的试算表并不保证没有错误，因为遗漏错误、记账错误、原则错误和抵消错误仍可能存在。
5. The Income Statement | 利润表
The income statement is prepared to determine the profit or loss of a business for an accounting period. The basic structure is: Sales – Cost of sales = Gross profit; then add other income and deduct expenses to arrive at net profit.
利润表用于确定企业一个会计期间的利润或损失。基本结构是：销售收入 – 销售成本 = 毛利；然后加上其他收入并扣除费用，得出净利润。
Sales are recorded net of returns (sales returns). Cost of sales is calculated as: Opening inventory + Purchases – Purchase returns + Carriage inwards – Closing inventory.
销售收入以扣除退货后的净额列示。销售成本计算公式为：期初存货 + 采购 – 采购退回 + 运入运费 – 期末存货。
Expenses are categorised as selling and distribution costs, administrative expenses, and finance costs. Accruals and prepayments must be accounted for to ensure all expenses and income are matched to the period.
费用分为销售及分销成本、行政费用和财务费用。必须考虑应计和预付款项，以确保所有费用和收入与当期匹配。
6. The Statement of Financial Position | 资产负债表
The statement of financial position shows the assets, liabilities, and capital of a business at a specific date, reflecting the accounting equation.
资产负债表显示企业在特定日期的资产、负债和资本，反映会计方程式。
Non-current assets are items held for long-term use (e.g., property, machinery), while current assets are expected to be converted into cash within one year (e.g., inventory, trade receivables, bank).
非流动资产是长期使用的项目（如房产、机器），而流动资产预计在一年内变现（如存货、应收账款、银行存款）。
Capital is presented as: Opening capital + additional capital introduced + net profit – drawings = Closing capital. Liabilities are split into current and non-current.
资本列示为：期初资本 + 追加资本 + 净利润 – 提款 = 期末资本。负债分为流动负债和非流动负债。
7. Depreciation | 折旧
Depreciation is the systematic allocation of the cost of a non-current asset over its useful life, matching the cost to the revenue it generates. Two common methods are the straight-line method and the reducing balance method.
折旧是将非流动资产成本在其使用寿命内系统分摊，以与收入相配比。两种常用方法是直线法和余额递减法。
Straight-line depreciation = (Cost – Residual value) / Useful life. Reducing balance method applies a fixed percentage to the net book value (cost less accumulated depreciation) each year.
直线折旧 = (成本 – 残值) / 使用年限。余额递减法每年对账面净值（成本减累计折旧）应用一个固定百分比。
The accounting entry for depreciation is: Debit Depreciation expense (income statement), Credit Accumulated depreciation (statement of financial position). The asset is shown at net book value.
折旧的会计分录为：借记折旧费用（利润表），贷记累计折旧（资产负债表）。资产以账面净值列示。
8. Irrecoverable Debts and Provision for Doubtful Debts | 坏账与坏账准备
An irrecoverable debt arises when a customer fails to pay, and the amount is written off. The entry is: Debit Irrecoverable debts expense, Credit Trade receivables.
坏账发生于客户无法付款时，需注销该金额。分录为：借记坏账费用，贷记应收账款。
A provision for doubtful debts is an estimate of potential future bad debts, created to present trade receivables at a prudent net realisable value. It is adjusted each period; only the increase or decrease is charged to the income statement.
坏账准备是对未来潜在坏账的估计，用于将应收账款以审慎的可变现净值列示。每期调整准备，仅将增加额或减少额计入利润表。
The balance in the provision for doubtful debts account is deducted from trade receivables in the statement of financial position.
坏账准备账户的余额在资产负债表中从应收账款中扣除。
9. Accruals and Prepayments | 应计与预付款项
The matching principle requires that expenses and income are recorded in the period to which they relate. Accruals and prepayments ensure this.
配比原则要求费用和收入在相关期间内记录。应计和预付款项保证了这一点。
An accrued expense is an expense incurred but not yet paid, so an accrual liability is recognised: Debit Expense, Credit Accruals (liability). Example: unpaid rent at year-end.
应计费用是已发生但尚未支付的费用，因此确认应计负债：借记费用，贷记应计（负债）。例如：年末未付租金。
A prepayment is an expense paid in advance, recognised as a current asset: Debit Prepayment, Credit Expense (reducing current year expense). The adjustment ensures the expense in income statement reflects the correct consumption.
预付款项是预先支付的费用，确认为流动资产：借记预付账款，贷记费用（减少当年费用）。该调整使利润表中的费用反映正确的消耗。
10. Bank Reconciliation | 银行对账
A bank reconciliation compares the cash book balance with the bank statement balance to identify differences and ensure both records are correct. Differences arise from timing differences (unpresented cheques, deposits in transit) and errors or omissions.
银行对账将现金簿余额与银行对账单余额进行比较，找出差异并确保双方记录正确。差异源于时间性差异（未兑现支票、在途存款）及错误或遗漏。
Steps: 1. Update the cash book for items on the bank statement not yet recorded (bank charges, direct debits, interest). 2. Prepare the bank reconciliation statement starting from the updated cash book balance, adding unpresented cheques and subtracting outstanding deposits, or vice versa, to arrive at the bank statement balance.
步骤：1. 根据银行对账单上未记录的项目（银行手续费、直接借记、利息）更新现金簿。2. 从更新后的现金簿余额出发编制银行对账单，加上未兑现支票、减去在途存款（反之取决于方法），得出银行对账单余额。
11. Control Accounts | 控制账户
Control accounts are summary accounts kept in the general ledger for trade receivables and trade payables, built from totals of books of prime entry. They act as checks on the accuracy of the individual ledger accounts.
控制账户是总账中对应收账款和应付账款设立的汇总账户，由特种日记账总额过账形成。它们用于检查个人明细账的准确性。
The sales ledger control account (trade receivables) starts with opening balance, adds credit sales, and subtracts cash received, discounts allowed, returns, and bad debts. The ending balance should equal the total of individual receivables accounts.
销售分类统制账户（应收账款）以期初余额开始，加上赊销金额，减去收到的现金、给予的折扣、退货和坏账。期末余额应与各应收账款明细账余额合计数相等。
Similarly, the purchases ledger control account (trade payables) records total credit purchases, cash paid, discounts received, and returns. Differences indicate errors that must be investigated.
同样，采购分类统制账户（应付账款）记录赊购总额、支付现金、获得折扣和退货。如有差异则表明存在须调查的错误。
12. Correction of Errors and Suspense Account | 错误更正与暂记账户
Errors that do not affect the trial balance agreement include: omission, commission, principle, original entry, compensating, and complete reversal. These require journal entries to correct.
不影响试算表平衡的错误包括：遗漏、记账错误、原则错误、原始分录错误、抵消错误和完全颠倒。这些需要通过会计分录来更正。
When a trial balance does not balance, a suspense account is opened with the difference. The error causing the difference must be located, and journal entries are made to clear the suspense account and correct the error.
当试算表不平衡时，以差额开设一个暂记账户。必须找出造成差额的错误，并通过会计分录消除暂记账户并更正错误。
Example of a correction: if a purchase of equipment was wrongly debited to purchases instead of equipment, correct by: Debit Equipment, Credit Purchases (suspense may be used if imbalance). Thus, accuracy is restored.
更正举例：如果购买的设备错误地借记了采购账户而非设备账户，则更正为：借记设备，贷记采购（如不平衡可能使用暂记账户）。从而恢复准确性。
