企业财务词汇
随着中国企业的资产重组和股份制改革,财务管理成为企业管理的核心部分。目前我国通用的一些财务指标和财务工具都是从国外借鉴来的。在财务管理方面,经济发达国家有着许多先进的经验和成熟的做法。 中国从八十年代初,恢复注册会计师行业,现在已经从恢复重建阶段过度到了发展完善阶段。注册会计师在经济中发挥了越来越重要的作用,被喻为“经济警察”。拥有注册会计师证书的人才得到企业的重视和青睐,也成为各大公司在人才市场上争夺的焦点。因此,拥有注册会计师资格证书的人能够取得较高的职位和得到较高的薪水。 但是中国的财务管理同国外相比也有许多不同的地方。例如在会计科目管理方面,中国的会计科目相对固定,相似的帐目会归为同一会计科目。而在国外的会计科目则数量众多,分类很细。 在同国外进行商务交流时,了解对方国家的有关财务规则是商务合作得以顺利进行的关键。财务状况的反应形式要根据不同国家的有关规定进行适应和修改。 英: Assets Anything having commercial or exchange value that is owned by a business, institution, or individual.
