Distinction between bookkeeping and accounting 簿记和会计的区别

What’s the difference between bookkeeping and accounting? Bookkeeping is only a small part of accounting, and probably the simplest part, for it is simply the recording of transactions, and generally it is mechanical. On the other hand, accounting includes not on1y the recording of economic data, but also the

design of accounting systems, interpretation of accounting information, auditing, tax p1anning, accounting analysis, forecasting, etc. That means being an

accountant is much more difficult than being a bookkeeper. One can become a proficient bookkeeper in a few' months and even in a few weeks while it takes quite a few years' efforts to become a qualified accountant.

簿记和会计有什么区别呢？簿记仅仅是会计工作的一小部分，并且可能是最简单的部分，因为簿记只是对经济业务进行记录，一般是比较机械的。而会计不仅包括经济数据的记录，还

包括会计系统的设计、会计信息的解释、审计、税收筹划、会计分析和预测等工作。也就是说，当会计师比当簿记员难得多。一个人在几个月甚至几个周内就能成为一个熟练的簿记员，而要成为一个合格的会计师，可能就得需要好几年的努力。
