Accounting
English term or phrase: 会计核算的内容
It is a chapter of an accounting textbook. In my opinion, 会计 and 核算 are the same. Or shall we translate it as Accounting Calculation?

The substance of accountancy
Explanation:
I find that in China 会计核算 is used to mean accountancy or accounting. Accountancy consists of financial accounting, management accounting, auditing, taxation, insolvency, and now, even information technology (in the sense of accounting systems). At times I also find that some Chinese organisations use it to mean simply financial accounting. Although 核 may mean checking, but nowadays 核算 short for 核查计算, simply means accounting or business accounting. It does not only mean audit. I was tempted to use 'contents' for 内容, but in this case I believe some financial accounting or accounting theory use the phrase "the substance of accountancy".

  -> Thanks, Lesley. I believe both 会计 and 核算both mean accounting. Perhaps both terms are used together to emphasize the professiona of accountancy? I took my children to NZ last X'mas, it was heaven on earth, stunningly beautiful!
