商科专业英文练习

 

3会计(3)

 

Introduction

Imagine that you are a business owner, and you take copies of your financial records ('books') to six different accountants. You ask each one to calculate your profit for the year. A fortnight later they each provide you with their answers. There are six different profit figures, with very wide variations between them. What impression do you now have of the accounting profession?

 

To avoid this kind of situation arising various rules, or accepted ways of going about things have evolved. These rules are known as 'concepts' and 'conventions' (for our purposes there is no effective difference between a concept and a convention, so we shall refer to them as concepts). In addition, it has been necessary to draw - up further rules (known as 'Statements of Standard Accounting Practice' or S.S.A.P.'s, and more recently 'Financial Reporting Standards' or F.R.S.'s).

 

Together, all of these concepts and statements bring about consistency within the accounting profession, which of course is very important, both for the credibility of the accountants, and for the reliability of the financial results that they report.

Concepts and conventions

             

3. Complete the following sentences:

business entity - accruals - prudence - prudence - realisation - money measurement - business entity - dual aspect - going concern - materiality - cost - consistency 

If a firm believes that some of its debtors may "default" it should act on this by making sure that all possible losses are recorded in the books. This is an example of the (1)……..concept in operation. The fact that a business is separate and distinguishable from its owner is best exemplified by the (2)……….concept. Everything a firm owns, it also owes out to somebody. This co-incidence is explained by the (3)………concept. If a cashier buys a cash book in which to keep his firms books, he would not try to account for every single sheet of paper in the book because of the (4)………concept. The (5)………concept states that if (say) the straight-line method of depreciation is used in one year, then it should also be used next year. A firm may hold stock which is heavily in demand. Consequently the market value of this stock may be increasing. Normal accounting procedure is to ignore this because of the (6)………..concept. If we receive an order for goods we would not include the value of it in our sales figures (yet) owing to the (7)………..concept/convention. A business makes a loss for the second year running, but the (8)………concept tells us that it will carry on trading unless we are notified to the contrary. Profit calculation is based on expenses incurred during the period rather than those paid. This statement effectively describes the (9)………concept. The management of "DUNFOR plc" are remarkably incompetent, but the firms accountants cannot take this into account when preparing the books because of the (10)…......concept. The research and development section of "RAKINITIN plc" however is doing so well that they anticipate a huge upturn in sales next year. The accountants cannot increase the book value of the patents held though, because of the (11)………..concept. The book-keeper for Parker Ceramics would only be concerned with the total value of Parkers drawings, not with how he had spent it because of the (12)……….concept.
