1. The Accounting Equation & Core Elements | 会计等式与核心要素
The accounting equation is the foundation: Assets = Liabilities + Capital. Always remember 'A = L + C' ness as a box: what it owns (assets) is funded by what it owes (liabilities) and the owner's stake (capital).
会计等式是基础：资产 = 负债 + 资本。记住 "A = L + C"。把企业想象成一个盒子：它拥有的（资产）等于欠别人的（负债）加上所有者权益（资本）。
Assets are resources controlled by an entity as a result of past events and from which future economic benefits are expected to flow. Memory tip: 'Asset' sounds like 'a set' of resources you control.
资产是由企业因过去事项控制的资源，预计会导致未来经济利益流入。记忆技巧："Asset" 听起来像 "一套" 你控制的资源。
Liabilities are present obligations arising from past events, the settlement of which is expected to result in an outflow of resources. Shortcut: 'Liability' starts with 'L' for 'legal obligation' or 'I owe'.
负债是由过去事项产生的现时义务，预期将导致经济资源流出。速记："Liability" 以 "L" 开头，联想为 "Legal obligation" 或 "我欠"。
(or Equity) is the residual interest in the assets after deducting all liabilities. Think 'C = A - L'. Owners' claim on the business.
资本（或权益）是资产减去所有负债后剩余的利益。记住 "C = A - L" 。所有者对企业的索偿权。
2. Asset Classification | 资产分类
Non-current assets are held for use in the production or supply of goods/services, for rental to others, or for administrative purposes, and are expected to be used during more than one period. Think 'lasting > 1 year'. Examples: machinery, buildings.
非流动资产是指为生产或供应商品/服务、出租或行政管理目的而持有，预计使用超过一个会计期间的资产。记忆 "使用超过一年"。例如：机器设备、建筑物。
Current assets are expected to be realised in, or are held for consumption within, the entity's normal operating cycle, or are held primarily for trading, or are cash or near-cash. The '1-year rule' helps: convert to cash within 12 months. Examples: inventory, trade receivables, cash.
流动资产预期在企业正常经营周期内变现、消耗或持有以供交易，或为现金及现金等价物。用 "一年规则" 帮助记忆：12个月内转换为现金。例如：存货、应收账款、现金。
ssets lack physical substance but hold value, like patents, trademarks, goodwill. Remember 'intangibles = invisible value'.
无形资产缺乏实物形态但有价值，如专利权、商标权、商誉。记忆："无形资产 = 无形价值"。
3. Liability Classification | 负债分类
Non-current liabilities are obligations payable after more than one year, such as a bank loan repayable in 5 years. Use 'long-term burden'.
非流动负债是指一年后到期的结算义务，例如五年期银行贷款。联想 "长期负担"。
Current liabilities are due within the normal operating cycle or within 12 months. Short-term payables: trade payables, bank overdraft. 'Short and soon'.
流动负债在正常经营周期或12个月内到期。短期应付项：应付账款、银行透支。速记 "短且快"。
A provision is a liability of uncertain timing or amount (e.g. warranty provision). 'Pro-vision: foresee and set aside'.
准备是指时间或金额不确定的负债（如保修准备）。"准备：预见并预留"。
4. Capital and Owners' Equity | 资本与所有者权益
Capital introduced: money or assets the owner puts into the business. Think 'owner's injection'.
投入资本：所有者投入企业的资金或资产。联想 "所有者注入"。
Retained earnings: profits kept in the business instead of being withdrawn. 'Re-invested profit'.
留存收益：留在企业而不提取的利润。即 "再投资利润"。
Drawings: amounts the owner takes out for personal use. 'Drawing = taking out'.
提款：所有者提取供个人使用的金额。"提款 = 取出"。
5. Income and Expenses | 收入与费用
h revenue (from ordinary activities) and gains (e.g. profit on sale of non-current asset). 'Income = revenue + gains'.
收入包含营业收入（日常活动）和利得（如出售非流动资产收益）。"收入 = 营业收入 + 利得"。
oods/services are transferred and it is probable that economic benefits will flow. Memory: 'Revenue = earned, not just received'.
收入在商品/服务已转移且经济利益很可能流入时确认。记忆："收入 = 赚得，而非仅收到"。
Expenses are decreases in economic benefits during the accounting period in the form of outflows or depletions of assets or incurrences of liabilities. Matching principle: expenses match with revenue. 'Spend to earn'.
费用是在会计期间内经济利益的减少，表现为资产流出/消耗或负债增加。配比原则：费用与收入配比。"为赚而花"。
6. Books of Prime Entry and Ledgers | 日记账与分类账
Books of prime entry record transactions chronologically before posting to ledgers. Common types: sales day book, purchases day book, cash book. Remember 'SPC'.
日记账按时间顺序记录交易，然后过账到分类账。常见类型：销售日记账、采购日记账、现金日记账。记忆 "SPC"。
The General Ledger contains all the double-entry accounts. 'Ledger = location of every T-account'.
总账包含所有复式记账账户。"分类账 = T 型账的位置"。
l accounts summarise transactions from subsidiary ledgers (e.g. sales ledger control). Use 'Control = summary check'.
控制账户汇总明细分类账的交易（如销售分类账控制账户）。"控制 = 汇总校验"。
