Reconciliation

Reconciliation is a verification process in which the user compares their records with those of the financial institution to ensure that the records in each system agree at some particular point in time.

Reversing Transaction

In formal accounting, a transaction is never deleted. Therefore, when a mistake is made, the original transaction remains in the ledger, and a transaction is added to the ledger that reverses the original. This reversing transaction duplicates the original transaction, but with debit and credit amounts reversed. This removes the effect of the erroneous transaction from the books. After entering the reversing transaction, a corrected transaction can then be entered. Reversing transactions are not commonly used in personal accounting.

风险

Split

A split, or Ledger Entry, is the fundamental accounting unit. Each split consists of an amount, the value of that amount expressed in a (possibly) different currency, a Memo, a pointer to the parent Transaction, a pointer to the debited Account, a reconciled flag and timestamp, an action field, and a key-value frame which can store arbitrary data.

Stock

A security that represents a certain fractional ownership of a company. This is what you buy when you buy stock in a company on the open market. This is also sometimes known as capital stock, or common stock.

Stock split

Occurs when a company offers to issue some additional multiple of shares for each existing stock. For example, a 2 for 1 stock split means that if you own 100 shares of a stock, you will receive an additional 100 shares at no cost to you. The unit price of the shares will usually be adjusted so there is no net change in the value, so in this example the price per share will be halved. Note that such transactions affect the cost basis per share owned.

Transaction

A transaction consists of a date, a description, an ID number, a list of two or more splits, and a key-value frame. Transactions embody the notion of "double entry" accounting.

Unrealized Gain/Loss

Unrealized gain or loss is the difference in value between a purchase price and the current value of a given asset. These gains remain unrealized until the asset is sold, at which point they become Realized gains or losses.

Capital Gain/Loss Realized Gain/Loss
Valuation

The process of determining the market value or the price the investment would sell at in a reasonable time frame.

收益率

A measure of the amount of money you earn from an investment (i.e., how much income you receive from the investment). Typically, this is reported as a percentage of the principal amount. Yield does not include capital gains or losses (see Return). For example, a stock that sells for $100 and gives $2 in dividends per year has a yield of 2%. 对投资盈利的金额的度量，也就是从投资中得到了多少收入。收益率一般记为本金的百分比。收益率不含资本收益或损失。 例如，某股票售价100美元且每年分红2美无，其收益率为2%。
