2008年注册会计师全国统一考试会计英语辅导讲义 一、相关背景1、2008年注册会计师全国统一考试将在会计、审计和财务成本管理三门课程中增加10分的英语附加题。这一变化主要是为了满足中国经济和行业发展对国际型人才的需要。财政部CPA考试委员会将逐步推广英语附加题到其他考试科目中。据此看来，在CPA各科考试中加重英语的分量将是一个趋势。2、增加英语附加题后，会计、审计和财务成本管理的总分为110分，及格分仍为60分，总体考试时间不变。英语附加题要求用英语回答，所以考生朋友们一定要根据本人英语水平选择作答。有一定英语基础（大学英语四、六级水平，掌握一定的财经英语词汇），打算选答英语附加题的考生朋友更应该合理规划和安排时间，在考试时认真阅读试卷首页的特别提示和答题导语，争取尽可能多的在英语附加题上拿分。英语基础较差的考生朋友不要慌乱，心态要放平和，力争前面的100分，如果时间允许可尝试做英语附加题。二、可能的题型因为只有10分的英语题，所以估计出客观题的可能性不大，很有可能是主观题，并且是专业题。题型可能包括：名词解释，英汉互译，问答（理论性的或业务性的）。根据2007年的英语附加题判断，今年的会计英语附加题仍有很大可能是业务核算题。三、会计英语讲解 Accounting 一、主要专业术语和基本概念1.
