1. Introduction to Accounting | 会计概述
Accounting is the process of recording, classifying, summarizing, and interpreting financial transactions to help users make informed decisions. The two main branches are financial accounting, which serves external users, and management accounting, aimed at internal decision‑makers.
会计是记录、分类、汇总和解释财务交易的过程，以帮助使用者做出明智决策。主要分支有服务于外部使用者的财务会计，以及面向内部决策者的管理会计。
The fundamental accounting concepts include business entity, going concern, accruals, consistency, prudence, and materiality. These ensure financial statements are reliable and comparable over time.
基本会计概念包括商业实体、持续经营、应计制、一致性、谨慎性和重要性，这些概念确保财务报表可靠且跨期可比。
2. The Accounting Equation and Double‑Entry Bookkeeping | 会计等式与复式记账法
The accounting equation – Assets = Liabilities + Capital – is the foundation of all bookkeeping. Every transaction affects at least two accounts in such a way that the equation remains balanced.
会计等式 – 资产 = 负债 + 资本 – 是所有簿记的基础。每笔交易至少影响两个账户，并且始终维持等式平衡。
In the double‑entry system, each transaction has a debit entry and a corresponding credit entry of equal amount. Debits increase assets and expenses, while credits increase liabilities, capital, and income. The rule ‘debit the receiver, credit the giver’ helps classify personal accounts.
在复式记账法中，每笔交易都有等额的借方和贷方记录。借方增加资产和费用，贷方增加负债、资本和收入。“借记收受方，贷记付出方”有助于对个人账户进行分类。
3. Ledger Accounts and Trial Balance | 分类账与试算平衡表
Ledger accounts are T‑shaped records where transactions are posted from the journal. The left side is the debit side, the right side is the credit side. At the end of a period, each account is balanced, and the closing balance is carried forward.
分类账是 T 形账户，交易从日记账过入其中。左侧为借方，右侧为贷方。期末每个账户结出余额，并将结转余额转入下期。
A trial balance is a list of all ledger balances at a particular date. Total debits must equal total credits. If the trial balance agrees, it only proves the arithmetical accuracy of the books – errors of omission, commission, principle, or compensating errors may still exist.
试算平衡表是某一日期所有分类账余额的列表，借方总额必须等于贷方总额。即便试算平衡，也只能证明账簿的算术准确性，漏记、错记、原则性错误或抵消性错误可能仍然存在。
4. Income Statement (Statement of Profit or Loss) | 利润表
The income statement calculates the profit or loss for a trading period. For a sole trader, it typically consists of a trading section (sales minus cost of sales = gross profit) and a profit and loss section (gross profit plus other income minus expenses = net profit).
利润表计算某一期间的损益。对独资经营者而言，通常包括购销部分（销售收入减销售成本等于毛利）和损益部分（毛利加其他收入减费用等于净利润）。
Cost of sales is found by: opening inventory + purchases – closing inventory. Carriage inwards is added to purchases, while carriage outwards is treated as an expense. Returns inwards reduce sales, and returns outwards reduce purchases.
销售成本的计算公式为：期初存货 + 购货 － 期末存货。购货运费加入购货，销货运费则作为费用处理。销售退回减少销售收入，购货退出减少购货成本。
5. Statement of Financial Position | 财务状况表
The statement of financial position shows the assets, liabilities, and capital of a business at a specific date. Assets are classified into non‑current (e.g. machinery, buildings) and current (e.g. inventory, trade receivables, cash). Liabilities are similarly split.
财务状况表列示企业在特定日期的资产、负债和资本。资产分为非流动资产（如机器、房产）和流动资产（如存货、应收账款、现金）。负债同样划分流动和非流动。
Working capital = current assets – current liabilities. A positive working capital indicates that the business can meet its short‑term obligations. The total of net assets must equal the capital figure at the bottom of the statement.
营运资本 = 流动资产 － 流动负债。营运资本为正表明企业有能力偿还短期债务。净资产总额必须与报表底部的资本数额相等。
6. Depreciation | 折旧
Depreciation is the systematic allocation of the cost of a non‑current asset over its useful life. It matches the expense of using the asset to the revenue it generates, following the accruals and prudence concepts.
折旧是将非流动资产成本在其使用寿命内系统分摊的过程，遵循应计制和谨慎性概念，将资产使用费用与产生的收入配比。
Common methods include straight‑line (equal annual charge) and reducing balance (a fixed percentage of the net book value each year). The annual depreciation expense is charged to the income statement, and accumulated depreciation is deducted from the asset’s cost in the statement of financial position.
常用方法有直线法（每年等额计提）和余额递减法（按固定百分比计提净账面价值）。每年折旧费用计入利润表，累计折旧从财务状况表中资产成本中扣除。
7. Accruals and Prepayments | 应计费用与预付费用
The accruals concept requires that expenses are recognised in the period they are incurred, not when they are paid. An accrual is an expense due but unpaid at the year‑end, shown as a current liability.
应计制概念要求费用在发生的期间确认，而非支付时确认。应计费用是期末已发生但未支付的费用，列为流动负债。
A prepayment is an amount paid in advance for a future period, recorded as a current asset. Adjustments for accruals and prepayments ensure that the income statement reflects the true expense for the year.
预付费用是为未来期间预先支付的款项，记为流动资产。对应计和预付的调整确保利润表反映该年度的真实费用。
8. Irrecoverable Debts and Allowance for Doubtful Debts | 坏账与坏账准备
When a trade receivable is unlikely to pay, the amount is written off as an irrecoverable debt – an expense in the income statement. If some debts may become bad but are not yet certain, an allowance for doubtful debts is created.
当应收账款很可能无法收回时，将其注销为坏账 – 计入利润表中的费用。若某些债务可能成为坏账但尚未确定，则计提坏账准备。
An increase in the allowance is treated as an expense, a decrease as income. The net trade receivables figure in the statement of financial position is trade receivables less the total allowance.
坏账准备的增加计为费用，减少计为收益。财务状况表中应收账款净额为应收账款减去坏账准备总额。
9. Bank Reconciliation | 银行对账
A bank reconciliation statement explains the difference between the cash book balance and the bank statement balance. Differences arise from timing (unpresented cheques, deposits in transit) and errors or omissions in the cash book.
银行存款余额调节表解释现金日记账余额与银行对账单余额之间的差异，差异源于时间性差异（未兑现支票、在途存款）以及现金日记账的错误或遗漏。
Starting with the cash book balance, items such as bank charges, standing orders, or dishonoured cheques are adjusted. Then outstanding cheques and deposits not yet credited by the bank are used to reconcile to the bank statement balance.
以现金日记账余额为起点，调整银行手续费、直接借记、退票等项目，再用银行未记账的未兑现支票和在途存款调节至银行对账单余额。
10. Control Accounts | 控制账户
A sales ledger control account summarizes all the individual trade receivable accounts. A purchases ledger control account does the same for trade payables. They act as a check on the accuracy of the ledgers.
销售分类账控制账户汇总所有应收账款明细账户，采购分类账控制账户汇总应付账款。它们起到核对分类账准确性的作用。
Items recorded include opening balances, credit sales/purchases, cash received/paid, discounts, returns, and irrecoverable debts written off. The balance on the control account should agree with the total of the individual balances in the memorandum ledgers.
记录项目包括期初余额、赊销/赊购、现金收支、折扣、退回及注销的坏账。控制账户余额应与明细分类账的余额合计一致。
11. Interpretation of Financial Statements Using Ratios | 利用比率分析财务报表
Ratio analysis helps evaluate profitability, liquidity, and efficiency. Profitability ratios include gross margin (gross profit/sales × 100) and net profit margin (net profit/sales × 100). They indicate how well a business controls costs.
比率分析有助于评估盈利能力、流动性和营运效率。盈利比率包括毛利率（毛利/销售收入×100）和净利率（净利润/销售收入×100），反映企业控制成本的能力。
Liquidity ratios such as the current ratio (current assets/current liabilities) and acid test ratio ((current assets – inventory)/current liabilities) measure the ability to meet short‑term debts. The rate of inventory turnover shows how quickly stock is sold.
流动性比率如流动比率（流动资产/流动负债）和速动比率（（流动资产-存货）/流动负债）衡量短期偿债能力。存货周转率则反映存货销售的速度。
12. Exam Tips and Common Pitfalls | 考试技巧与常见误区
Always show workings clearly for adjustment questions – marks are awarded for correct method even if the final figure is wrong. Label items in the financial statements with exactly the terms used in the syllabus.
在调整类试题中务必清晰展示计算过程 – 即使最后答案有误，方法正确也能得分。财务报表中的项目必须使用考纲规定的精确术语。
Double‑check that total debits equal total credits in the trial balance and that the statement of financial position balances. Avoid mixing up accruals and prepayments, and remember that carriage inwards is a cost of sales item, not an expense.
反复检查试算平衡表的借贷总额是否相等，以及财务状况表是否平衡。切勿混淆应计费用与预付费用，记住购货运费属于销售成本而非费用。
