本文全面而简洁地梳理了 CIE IGCSE（或 GCSE）会计课程所需的核心知识点。内容涵盖基本概念、复式记账、原始分录簿、试算平衡表、调整事项、折旧、坏账、财务报表、控制账户、银行调节表及比率分析。每个部分都突出了关键定义、规则和技巧，帮助你掌握这门学科。
1. The Accounting Equation and Fundamental Concepts | 会计等式与基本概念
The fundamental accounting equation is Assets = Capital + Liabilities. Assets are resources owned by the business (e.g., cash, inventory, trade receivables). Capital represents the owner's residual interest, and liabilities are obligations to outsiders.
基本会计等式为 资产 = 资本 + 负债。资产是企业拥有的资源（如现金、存货、应收货款），资本代表所有者的剩余权益，负债是企业对外的义务。
Key concepts include the business entity concept (the business is separate from the owner), money measurement (only monetary transactions are recorded), historical cost (assets at original cost), and prudence (profits are not anticipated, but all foreseeable losses are provided for).
关键概念包括 企业实体概念（企业独立于所有者）、货币计量（仅记录货币性交易）、历史成本（资产按原始成本计量）以及 审慎性（不预期利润，但应计提所有可预见的损失）。
The dual effect principle states that every transaction affects two accounts in opposite ways, which underpins double-entry bookkeeping.
双重影响原则指出每笔交易都以相反方式影响两个账户，这是复式记账的基础。
2. Double-Entry Bookkeeping | 复式记账
Every transaction is recorded with a debit and a credit entry of equal amount. Total debits must always equal total credits. The system ensures that the accounting equation remains in balance.
每笔交易都以金额相等的借方和贷方分录记录。借方总额必须始终等于贷方总额，这一系统确保会计等式始终保持平衡。
The rules: Assets – increase on debit, decrease on credit; Liabilities and Capital – increase on credit, decrease on debit; Expenses – increase on debit; Income – increase on credit. For example, purchasing inventory on credit requires: Dr Purchases, Cr Trade payables.
记账规则：资产增加记借方，减少记贷方；负债与资本增加记贷方，减少记借方；费用增加记借方；收入增加记贷方。例如，赊购存货的分录为：借 购货，贷 应付货款。
Each account is kept in a 'T-account' format, with debits on the left and credits on the right. The difference between the two sides is the balance carried down (c/d) and brought down (b/d).
每个账户都以“T形账户”格式记录，左方记借，右方记贷。两方之间的差额记作结转余额（c/d）和下期期初余额（b/d）。
3. Books of Prime Entry and Ledgers | 原始分录簿与分类账
Transactions are first recorded in books of prime entry before being posted to the ledgers. The main books are: Sales journal (credit sales), Purchases journal (credit purchases), Returns inwards journal, Returns outwards journal, Cash book (cash and bank transactions), and General journal (all other entries and corrections).
交易首先记录在原始分录簿中，然后过账至分类账。主要账簿包括：销售日记账（赊销）、购货日记账（赊购）、销售退回日记账、购货退回日记账、现金簿（现金和银行交易）以及普通日记账（所有其他分录和更正）。
After recording in the books of prime entry, totals are posted to the general ledger (nominal accounts) and individual entries to the sales ledger (trade receivables) and purchases ledger (trade payables). This division of ledgers helps in locating errors and preparing control accounts.
在原始分录簿中记录后，总额过账到总分类账（名义账户），而各笔分录则过账至销售分类账（应收货款）和购货分类账（应付货款）。这种分类账的分工有助于查找错误和编制控制账户。
4. Trial Balance and Errors | 试算平衡表及错误
A trial balance lists all ledger account balances at a particular date. It is used to check the arithmetic accuracy of the double-entry system: total debit balances must equal total credit balances.
试算平衡表列示了某一特定日期所有分类账户的余额，用来检验复式记账系统的算术准确性：借方余额合计必须等于贷方余额合计。
Errors not revealed by a trial balance include errors of omission (transaction completely omitted), commission (entry in wrong account of same class), principle (wrong class of account), compensating errors, original entry (wrong amount in both accounts), and complete reversal (debits and credits swapped).
试算平衡表无法揭示的错误包括：漏账（交易完全遗漏）、串户（同一类账户中记错账户）、原则性错误（记错账户类别）、抵销性错误、原始分录错误（两个账户同时记错金额）以及完全颠倒（借贷方向互换）。
Errors that cause the trial balance to disagree are corrected via journal entries and a suspense account if the difference cannot be immediately found. Once corrected, the trial balance must balance.
导致试算平衡表不平的错误应通过日记账分录予以更正；如差异无法立即找到，则开设暂记账户。更正后，试算平衡表必须平衡。
5. Adjustments: Accruals and Prepayments | 调整：应计和预付
At the end of a financial period, expenses and incomes must be matched to the period to which they relate. An accrual is an expense incurred but not yet paid (e.g., wages owing). A prepayment is an expense paid in advance (e.g., insurance paid for the next period).
在会计期末，费用和收入必须与所属期间相配比。应计费用是已发生但尚未支付的费用（如应付工资）；预付费用是提前支付的下期费用（如预付下一期保险费）。
Adjusting entry for an accrual: Dr Expense, Cr Accruals (liability). For a prepayment: Dr Prepayments (asset), Cr Expense. In the income statement, expenses are shown after adjustment; in the statement of financial position, accruals appear under current liabilities and prepayments under current assets.
应计费用的调整分录为：借 费用，贷 应计负债。预付费用：借 预付账款（资产），贷 费用。在损益表中，费用按调整后金额列示；在资产负债表中，应计负债列于流动负债下，预付账款列于流动资产下。
Example: If rent of 12,000 is paid during the year but 3,000 is prepaid, the income statement charge is 9,000. The adjustment is Dr Prepayments 3,000, Cr Rent 3,000.
例子：如果全年支付租金 12,000，但其中 3,000 为预付，则损益表中的租金费用应为 9,000。调整分录为：借 预付账款 3,000，贷 租金费用 3,000。
6. Depreciation | 折旧
Depreciation is the systematic allocation of the cost of a non-current asset over its useful life. It is an application of the matching and prudence concepts.
折旧是将非流动资产的成本在其使用寿命内系统分配的过程，体现了配比和审慎性概念。
Two common methods: straight-line – (Cost − Residual value) / Useful life. It charges equal amounts each year. Reducing balance – a fixed percentage applied to the net book value (cost less accumulated depreciation). This results in a higher charge in early years.
两种常用方法：直线法——（成本 - 残值）/ 使用年限，每年计提相等金额。余额递减法——按固定百分比乘以账面净值（成本减累计折旧）计提，导致早期折旧费用较高。
The accounting entry is Dr Depreciation expense, Cr Accumulated depreciation (a contra-asset account). In the statement of financial position, the asset is shown at cost less accumulated depreciation (net book value).
会计分录为：借 折旧费用，贷 累计折旧（资产备抵账户）。在资产负债表中，资产按成本减累计折旧后的账面净值列示。
7. Irrecoverable Debts and Allowances | 坏账与坏账准备
An irrecoverable debt is an amount owed by a credit customer that is no longer expected to be collected. It is written off: Dr Bad debts expense, Cr Trade receivables.
坏账指预计无法收回的客户欠款。冲销分录为：借 坏账费用，贷 应收货款。
An allowance for trade receivables is created to match potential future bad debts to the period of sale. When an allowance is first created, the entry is Dr Bad debts expense, Cr Allowance for trade receivables. In subsequent periods, the allowance is adjusted up or down through the income statement.
计提应收货款坏账准备是将未来可能的坏账与销售期间配比。首次计提时，分录为：借 坏账费用，贷 应收货款坏账准备。以后各期，准备金的增减均通过损益表反映。
In the statement of financial position, trade receivables are shown net of the allowance, giving a realistic 'net realisable value'.
在资产负债表中，应收货款按扣除坏
