第八章：财会翻译一、财会句子与段落翻译1. Managementaccountingprovidesmanagerswithinorganizationswithaccountinginformationtomakeinformedbusinessdecisionsformoreeffectivemanagement.【译文】管理会计为企业的管理者提供会计信息以便其做出正确的商业决策，进而更有效地管理企业。2. Theaccountantkeepsallofthebusinesstransactionsofasoleproprietorshipseparatefromthebusinessowner,spersonaltransactions.Forlegalpurposes,asoleproprietorshipanditsownerareconsideredtobeoneentity,butforaccountingpurposestheyareconsideredtobetwoseparateentities.【译文】会计师需要将独资企业的所有商业交易与其所有者的个人交易区分开。就法律而言，独资企业及其所有者被视为一个实体，但是从财会的角度而言，独资企业及其所有者被视为两个不同的实体。3. Ifacompanydistributesitsfinancialstatementstothepublic,itisrequiredtofollowgenerallyacceptedaccountingprinciplesinthepreparationofthosestatements.Further,ifacompany,sstockispubliclytraded,federallawrequiresthecompany,sfinancialstatementsbeauditedbyindependentpublicaccountants.Boththecompany'smanagementandtheindependentaccountantsmustcertifythatthefinancialstatementsandtherelatednotestothefinancialstatementshavebeenpreparedinaccordancewithGAAP.【译文】如果一家公司对外公布其财会报表，在编制这些报表的过程中必须遵循一般公认会计原则。此外，如果一家公司的股票上市交易，联邦法律规定该公司的财会报表必须由独立的公共会计师负责审计。该公司的管理者和独立会计师都必须保证财会报表及其附注是根据一般公认会计原则编制的。4.

Continuousinventory,sometimesalsocalledperpetualinventory,istokeepbookinventorycontinuouslyinagreementwithstockonhandwithinspecifiedtimeperiods.Insomecases,bookinventoryandstockonhandmaybereconciledasoftenasaftereachtransaction,whileinsomesystemsthesetwonumbersmaybereconciledlessoften.Thisprocessisusefulinkeepingtrackofactualavailabilityofgoodsanddeterminingwhatthecorrecttimetoreorderfromsuppliersmightbe.【译文】连续盘存，有时也称为“永续盘存”，旨在确定账面库存在某些特定的时间段之内与实际库存持续保持一致。在某些情况下，可能需要在每次交易后将账面库存与实际库存进行核对，而在其他一些系统核对账面库存与现货库存的频率可能较低。连续盘存有助于实时了解货物实际存量，进而确定再次向供应商订货的恰当时间。【解析】本句的翻译难点主要是几个财会术语，即ContinUoUSinVentOry（连续盘存），perpetualinventory（永续盘存），bookinventory（账面库存）。6.
