会计双语教学中存在的问题及对策探析摘要:为适应教学模式的国际化发展,许多高校在某些专业上采用了双语教学模式,本文以黑龙江外国语学院会计专业为背景详细的阐述了会计双语教学的含义和会双语教学中存在的问题及对策。
关键词:会计双语教学问题对策双语教学的模式有很多,对于会计专业而言,采用的双语教学模式为汉语与英语的教学模式。
这种模式也可以理解为会计专业语言与相关的英语会计语言模式。
采用这种模式教学的最终目的是将学生培养成既可以熟练的掌握会计专业知识又可以用英语进行会计知识交流的综合型人才。
对于黑龙江外国语学院来说,其学院的人才培养模式就是采用的专业+外语的人才培养模式,英语专业的师资力量、外教教师队伍和实践教学基地与其他同等院校相比都处于领先地位。
所以采用双语教学模式是非常容易且可行的。
但在会计专业双语教学的过程中还是存在着许多问题,这也是学院迫切需要解决的。
1 会计双语教学的含义很多人认为,双语教学就是将学生的专业知识用英语在讲述一遍,这样的理解是不对的,双语教学的模式有很多,不只限于英语。
也可以理解为是除专业语言以外的第二种语言,这里所说的第二种语言起到的应是辅助的作用。
双语教学的目的是让学生将另外一种语言作为工具,用另外一种视觉来理解自己的专业知识。
所以,双语教学的意义是为了使学生更好的、以多种角度、多方面信息来看待和学习自己的专业。
为使自己能成为综合型人才打下夯实的基础。
2 会计双语教学中存在的问题2.1 综合型教师较少无论是黑龙江外国语学院的英语专业教师还是会计专业教师,教师的教学水平都是毋庸置疑的。
但学校里综合型教师的教师队伍和师资力量相对较弱。
这里的综合型教师是指既可以掌握会计专业知识又可以教授学生英语知识的教师。
因为综合型教师相对较少,学校为了可以开展双语教学模式只能采取专业知识由会计专业教师来讲解,而相关的英语知识由英语教师来讲。
但这样的教学方式达到的教学效果并不明显,因为,会计知识和英语知识是在两堂课进行讲解的,这就缺乏了课堂的连贯性,给学生们的印象也不是很深刻,学生会觉得只不过上了一节专业课和一节英语课罢了,两节课之间没什么太大关系。
会计的英语是什么会计和英语专业都是比较热门的专业，因此找工作的竞争也会很激烈。

Recognize the arguments for and against harmonization.2. Identify the pressures for and the obstacles to harmonization.3. Become familiar with the main organizations involved in harmonization.CHAPTER OUTLINEHistory and Recent Developments▪Prior to 1960, there was little effort devoted to the international harmonization of accounting standards. Efforts have been made by a number of organizations to reduce the differences between accounting systems since then.Main International Bodies InvolvedPrinciples-Based vs. Rules-Based Approaches▪Principles-based standards represent the best approach for guiding financial reporting and standard setting, of any given transaction.▪Rules-based standards provide companies the opportunity to structure transactions to meet the requirements for particular accounting treatments.Obstacles to Harmonization▪Differences in the regulatory framework .▪The "true and fair view" .▪The various interpretation of fundamental principle .▪A binding tax accounting linkLikely future trends▪The convergence of IAS and national accounting standards is, and always has been one of the IASB's key objectives. Three basic future roles exist for the IASB:✓Producing standards for those countries that have no standards of their own✓Assisting in the reduction of diverse national practices✓Acting as an umbrella organizing for national standard settersImplication▪The demand of international capital markets helps to drive harmonization. IASB has become more cognizant of the need to work with national standard setters and bring them into membership of IASB, which may be possible to eliminate the differences between national and international standards. The current agreement could then be viewed as the first step in a much longer process.IASB ( International Accounting Standards Board)▪IASB's responsibilities:✓Develop and issue International Financial Reporting Standards and Exposure Drafts, and✓Approve Interpretations developed by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC).CHAPTER 3ACCOUNTING FOR FOREIGN CURRENCYLEARNING OBJECTIVES:▪ 1. Provide an overview of foreign exchange markets and define related terminology.▪ 2. Describe the different types of foreign exchange exposure and exchange difference.▪ 3. Understand some of the more common foreign currency transactions. CHAPTER OUTLINEAccounting for Foreign Currency Transactions▪a transaction that requires payment or receipt (settlement) in a foreign currency is called a foreign currency transaction.▪Exchange difference is the difference resulting from reporting the same number of units of a foreign currency in the reporting currency at different exchange rates. Accounting for Foreign Currency Transactions▪Importing or Exporting of Goods or Services✓At the date the transaction is first recognized.✓At each balance sheet date that occurs between the transaction date and the settlement date.✓At the settlement date.Accounting for Foreign Currency Transactions▪Recognition of Exchange Differences✓the single- transaction approach✓the two- transaction approachHedging Foreign Exchange Rate Risk▪A derivative instrument may be defined as a financial instrument that by its terms at inception or upon occurrence of a specified event, provides the holder (or writer) with the right (or obligation) to participate in some or all of the price changes of another underlying value of measure, but does not require the holder to own or deliver the underlying value of measure.Hedging Foreign Exchange Rate Risk▪two broad categories✓Forward-based derivatives, such as forwards, futures, and swaps, in which either party can potentially have a favorable or unfavorable outcome, but not both simultaneously (e.g., both will not simultaneously have favorable outcomes).✓Option-based derivatives, such as interest rate caps, option contracts, and interest rate floors, in which only one party can potentially have a favorable outcome and it agrees to a premium at inception for this potentiality; the other party is paid the premium, and can potentially have only an unfavorable outcome.Hedging Foreign Exchange Rate Risk▪Forward Exchange Contracts▪Options▪Fair Value Hedge – Using a Forward Contract▪Hedging an Identifiable Foreign Currency Commitment Using a Forward Contract (A Fair Value Hedge)▪Hedging a Forecasted Transaction Using an Option (Cash Flow Hedge) Translation Of Foreign Financial Statements▪Derivation of the Issue of Foreign Currency Translation✓Translation exposure, sometimes also called accounting exposure, refers to gains or losses caused by the translation of foreign currency assets and liabilities into the currency of the parent company for accounting purposes.✓The choice of any method for the translation of the financial statements of a foreign business operation involves two basic questions:(i) how shall foreign currency financial statements be translated——in particular what exchange rates are to be used for different assets/liabilities/equity accounts?(ii) how and when shall foreign exchange gains or losses be recognized?CHAPTER 4Business combinationsLEARNING OBJECTIVES:•(1)Understand the economic motivations underlying business combinations.•(2)Learn about the alternative forms of business combinations, from both the legal and accounting perspectives.•(3)Introduce concepts of accounting for business combinations；•(4)emphasizing the purchase method.•(5)See how firms make cost allocatCHAPTER OUTLINE4.1 The Accounting Concept of Business Combinations4.2 The Legal Form of Business Combinations4.3 Reasons for Business Combinations4.4 Accounting for Business Combinations Under the Purchase Method4.5 The measurement of Goodwill and ControversyCHAPTER 5Consolidated financial statementsLEARNING OBJECTIVES:•(1)Recognize the benefits and limitations of consolidated financial statements.•(2)Understand the requirements for inclusion of a subsidiary in consolidated financial statements.•(3)Apply the consolidation concepts to parent company recording of the investment in a subsidiary at the date of acquisition.•(4)Allocate the excess of the fair value over the book value of the subsidiary at the date of acquisition.CHAPTER OUTLINE5.1 Demand from IAS 275.2 The adjustment of Intercompany Transactions5.3 Parent Company Recording and Consolidated Statement of financialposition at Acquisition Date5.4 Subsequent Statement of financial positionCHAPTER 6Accounting for changing priceLEARNING OBJECTIVES:▪ 1. Explain basic concepts relating to inflation accounting. Understand the distinction between changes in the general level of prices in an economy, which affect the purchasing power of the measuring unit, and changes in the prices of specific assets and liabilities, which affect balance sheet valuations and income measurement.▪ 2. Explain the underlying thoughts and methods of dealing with inflation.▪ 3. Restate conventional financial statements based on historical costs to a common measuring unit.CHAPTER OUTLINEDefects of historical cost accounting▪The results of comparison of performance and position statements over time will be unreliable, because amounts are not valued in terms of common units.▪Borrowings are shown in monetary terms, but in a time of rising prices a gain is actually made (or a loss in times of falling prices) at the expense of the lender as, in real terms, the value of the loan has decreased or increased.▪Conversely, gains arising from holding assets are not recognized.▪Depreciation writes off the historical cost over time, but, where asset values are low (because based on outdated historical costs), depreciation will be correspondingly lower, so that a realistic charge for asset consumption is not matched against revenue in the performance statements.Overview of Accounting for changing prices▪Changing prices affect financial reports in two principal ways:✓Measuring unit problem✓Valuation problemAccounting Measurement Alternatives▪Acquisition Cost/Nominal Dollar Accounting▪Acquisition Cost/Constant Dollar Accounting▪Current Cost/Nominal Dollar Accounting▪Current Cost/Constant Dollar AccountingRestatement of Monetary and Non-monetary Items▪A monetary item is a claim receivable or payment in a specified number of dollars, regardless of changes in the purchasing power of the dollar.▪A non-monetary item is any asset, liability, or shareholders’ equity account that has no claim to or for a specified number of dollars.Evaluation of Acquisition Cost/Constant Dollar Accounting▪When compared with current-cost accounting (discussed next), constant-dollar accounting carries a higher level of objectivity. Independent accountants can examine canceled checks, invoices, and other documents to verify acquisition-cost valuations and transaction dates. The restatements to constant dollars use general price indexes published by governmental bodies.Evaluation of Current Cost/Nominal Dollar Accounting▪Current-cost accounting measures performance and financial position in terms of the current market prices. Managers likely make decisions in terms of current costs, not out-of-date acquisition costs. Thus, for assessing management’s actions, current-cost financial statements provide information on the same basis that management used to make decisions.▪Critics note two shortcomings of current cost/nominal dollar accounting:✓auditors cannot as easily verify current-replacement-cost valuations as they can acquisition-cost valuations.✓the use of nominal dollars means that the measuring unit underlying current-replacement-cost valuations varies across time.CHAPTER 7Accounting for financial instrumentLEARNING OBJECTIVES:1. Examine budgeting and performance evaluation issues for international firms.2. Discuss global risk management tools and strategies including multinational capitalbudgeting and foreign exchange risk management.3. Identify the main constituents of cross-border transfer pricing policies, define thetransfer pricing methods, and consider the issues in devising a transfer pricing strategy.4. Recognize the critical role of information technology systems in the effectiverecording, processing and dissemination of financial and managerial accounting information.CHAPTER OUTLINE1 Challenge for the accounting profession2 Accounting and Reporting for Financial Instruments: International Developments ▪In the process of completing the most recent series of amendments, the IASB conducted an extensive due process, which began in 2001 and included the following: ▪(1) Conducting numerous board deliberations prior to the June 2002 exposure drafts;2.1 Overview of IAS 32▪The following are the major U.S. standards that address financial instruments accounting and reporting:▪(1) SFAS 107, Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments.▪(2) SFAS 133, Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities.▪(3) SFAS 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities.▪(4) SFAS 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Debt and Equity.2.2 Overview of IAS 392.3 Recognition and Derecognition of Financial Assets and Liabilities2.4 Hedge Accounting Guidance2.5 Impairment of Financial Instruments2.6 Convergence with U.S. GAAP3 Financial instruments3.1 Illustration of Traditional Financial Instrument3.2 Illustration of Derivative Financial Instrument4 DERIV ATIVES USED FOR HEDGING▪SFAS No. 133 established accounting and reporting standards for derivative financial instruments used in hedging activities.

Accounting for Foreign Currency Transactions▪Importing or Exporting of Goods or Services✓At the date the transaction is first recognized.✓At each balance sheet date that occurs between the transaction date and the settlement date.✓At the settlement date.Accounting for Foreign Currency Transactions▪Recognition of Exchange Differences✓the single- transaction approach✓the two- transaction approachHedging Foreign Exchange Rate Risk▪A derivative instrument may be defined as a financial instrument that by its terms at inception or upon occurrence of a specified event, provides the holder (or writer) with the right (or obligation) to participate in some or all of the price changes of another underlying value of measure, but does not require the holder to own or deliver the underlying value of measure.Hedging Foreign Exchange Rate Risk▪two broad categories✓Forward-based derivatives, such as forwards, futures, and swaps, in which either party can potentially have a favorable or unfavorable outcome, but not both simultaneously (e.g., both will not simultaneously have favorable outcomes).✓Option-based derivatives, such as interest rate caps, option contracts, and interest rate floors, in which only one party can potentially have a favorable outcome and itagrees to a premium at inception for this potentiality; the other party is paid the premium, and can potentially have only an unfavorable outcome.Hedging Foreign Exchange Rate Risk▪Forward Exchange Contracts▪Options▪Fair Value Hedge – Using a Forward Contract▪Hedging an Identifiable Foreign Currency Commitment Using a Forward Contract (A Fair Value Hedge)▪Hedging a Forecasted Transaction Using an Option (Cash Flow Hedge) Translation Of Foreign Financial Statements▪Derivation of the Issue of Foreign Currency Translation✓Translation exposure, sometimes also called accounting exposure, refers to gains or losses caused by the translation of foreign currency assets and liabilities into the currency of the parent company for accounting purposes.✓The choice of any method for the translation of the financial statements of a foreign business operation involves two basic questions:(i) how shall foreign currency financial statements be translated——in particular what exchange rates are to be used for different assets/liabilities/equity accounts?(ii) how and when shall foreign exchange gains or losses be recognized?CHAPTER 4Business combinationsLEARNING OBJECTIVES:•(1)Understand the economic motivations underlying business combinations.•(2)Learn about the alternative forms of business combinations, from both the legal and accounting perspectives.•(3)Introduce concepts of accounting for business combinations；•(4)emphasizing the purchase method.•(5)See how firms make cost allocatCHAPTER OUTLINE➢ 4.1 The Accounting Concept of Business Combinations➢ 4.2 The Legal Form of Business Combinations➢ 4.3 Reasons for Business Combinations➢ 4.4 Accounting for Business Combinations Under the Purchase Method ➢ 4.5 The measurement of Goodwill and ControversyCHAPTER 5Consolidated financial statementsLEARNING OBJECTIVES:•(1)Recognize the benefits and limitations of consolidated financial statements.•(2)Understand the requirements for inclusion of a subsidiary in consolidated financial statements.•(3)Apply the consolidation concepts to parent company recording of the investment in a subsidiary at the date of acquisition.•(4)Allocate the excess of the fair value over the book value of the subsidiary at the date of acquisition.CHAPTER OUTLINE➢ 5.1 Demand from IAS 27➢ 5.2 The adjustment of Intercompany Transactions➢ 5.3 Parent Company Recording and Consolidated Statement of financial position at Acquisition Date➢ 5.4 Subsequent Statement of financial positionCHAPTER 6Accounting for changing priceLEARNING OBJECTIVES:▪ 1. Explain basic concepts relating to inflation accounting. Understand the distinction between changes in the general level of prices in an economy, which affect the purchasing power of the measuring unit, and changes in the prices of specific assets and liabilities, which affect balance sheet valuations and income measurement.▪ 2. Explain the underlying thoughts and methods of dealing with inflation.▪ 3. Restate conventional financial statements based on historical costs to a common measuring unit.CHAPTER OUTLINEDefects of historical cost accounting▪The results of comparison of performance and position statements over time will be unreliable, because amounts are not valued in terms of common units.▪Borrowings are shown in monetary terms, but in a time of rising prices a gain is actually made (or a loss in times of falling prices) at the expense of the lender as, in real terms, the value of the loan has decreased or increased.▪Conversely, gains arising from holding assets are not recognized.▪Depreciation writes off the historical cost over time, but, where asset values are low (because based on outdated historical costs), depreciation will becorrespondingly lower, so that a realistic charge for asset consumption is not matched against revenue in the performance statements.Overview of Accounting for changing prices▪Changing prices affect financial reports in two principal ways:✓Measuring unit problem✓Valuation problemAccounting Measurement Alternatives▪Acquisition Cost/Nominal Dollar Accounting▪Acquisition Cost/Constant Dollar Accounting▪Current Cost/Nominal Dollar Accounting▪Current Cost/Constant Dollar AccountingRestatement of Monetary and Non-monetary Items▪ A monetary item is a claim receivable or payment in a specified number of dollars, regardless of changes in the purchasing power of the dollar.▪ A non-monetary item is any asset, liability, or shareholders’ e quity account that has no claim to or for a specified number of dollars.Evaluation of Acquisition Cost/Constant Dollar Accounting▪When compared with current-cost accounting (discussed next), constant-dollar accounting carries a higher level of objectivity. Independent accountants can examine canceled checks, invoices, and other documents to verify acquisition-cost valuations and transaction dates. The restatements to constant dollars use general price indexes published by governmental bodies. Evaluation of Current Cost/Nominal Dollar Accounting▪Current-cost accounting measures performance and financial position in terms of the current market prices. Managers likely make decisions in terms of current costs, not out-of-date acquisition costs. Thus, for asses sing management’s actions, current-cost financial statements provide information on the same basis that management used to make decisions.▪Critics note two shortcomings of current cost/nominal dollar accounting:✓auditors cannot as easily verify current-replacement-cost valuations as they can acquisition-cost valuations.✓the use of nominal dollars means that the measuring unit underlying current-replacement-cost valuations varies across time.CHAPTER 7Accounting for financial instrumentLEARNING OBJECTIVES:1.
