隨著我國改革開放和全球經濟一體化的日益加快,我國會計發展已經進入與國際趨同的新時期。因英語為國際性通用語言,所以會計學領域有很多較前沿的理論和方法都是用英語來表述的。在這種形勢下,具備堅實的會計專業素養和較強的專業英語交流能力已成為我國會計人才培養的基本目標了。
為了提高我國會計人員的國際化水平,我們崇尚在教育階段就要加強對會計專業英語知識的學習。為此,我們編寫了這本會計英語教材,希望通過本書的學習能夠使讀者熟知基本專業術語的英文表達,理解具有一定難度的英文專業資料,能夠對一些會計問題用英文進行準確的描述,并依據西方通用會計準則對國外企業會計實務進行準確的會計核算并編制英文會計報表,等等。
本書主要側重于對財務會計專業知識的介紹,每章涉及內容介紹、英文課文、專業詞匯與詞組、練習題四部分基本內容,知識點設置合理,便于讀者進行系統全面的學習。此外,為了幫助讀者直接用英語來領悟前沿的會計理論和方法,進一步加深對相關知識點的理解,本書在每章還增設了相關外文文獻的閱讀資料。為了促使讀者在英語語境下更好地理解相關專業知識,避免過于依賴翻譯資料,本書特意省去了中文譯文部分。本書語言通俗易懂,兼顧了讀者的專業基礎和英語水平,適合廣大高等院校的會計專業學生及社會上的自學人士使用。
本書第1~5章由山東建筑大學商學院李慧老師編寫,第6~9章由山東建筑大學商學院孫園園老師編寫,第10~12章是由山東建筑大學商學院李長娥老師編寫。全書由李慧老師負責統籌總纂。
由于編者理論水平和實務知識有限,書中難免存在疏漏與不當之處,敬請廣大讀者給予批評指正。
