How It Helps Your Business English
Thirty-five accounting terms are explained in four groups: financial statements and reporting, with assets, liabilities, balance sheet and cash flow; accounts and transactions, from debit and credit to accounts receivable, payroll and depreciation; the roles, from auditor to chartered accountant; and the phrases in the red, write off and crunch the numbers. A quiz follows.
You read each term with its explanation and the sentence that shows it at work, then take the quiz at the end to see which ones have stayed with you. Because the terms are grouped by the part of the job they belong to, you can prepare for one task at a time, reading a balance sheet or talking through a payroll run, and pick up the idioms an accountant uses in the same conversation.
