Auditing

Dialogue 1

M: Did you get the the financial records into shape for your audit next month?

F: I'm still working on ironing out a few problems, keep in a strict account of all our incoming and outgoing is not an easy task, it's much more difficult than balancing my checkbook.

M: I guess the auditing is just to make sure everything's on the open up, and that you're keeping proper records of all our expenditure and profit.

F: Keeping track of money coming in is easier than keeping track of money going out.

M: Why is that?

F: It seems our record are always a little incomplete, because not all of the employees turn over their reciepts for business expenses.

M: That's something you can improve by talking to human resources, they can send out a memo to make sure people are following protocol with their expense accounts.

F: At least our records for money in are very complete.

M: As far as our assets were concerned, they want to know more about your intake anyway, they want to make sure you're paying taxes on the money you make.

F: We're paying all right, but it's just proving everything by the numbers.

Dialogue 2

M: Can you please show me your filing system for the company finances?

F: Certainly, we keep running tally of all money in and money out on the month to month basis, these numbers are crosscheck with all expenditure receipts and invoices of our account receivables.

M: I see, for the first quarter，your total expenditures were one hundred and fifty thousand dollars, none of which were taxed actable.

F: Yes, we must pay taxes on our total income not our adjusted income.

M: Your total intake for the first quarter period was five hundred thousand dollars, you have a gross net of five hundred thousand and the adjusted profit of three hundred and fifty thousand. Do you have something beside this report that will back up these figures.

商务英语中级情景口语：经济

The Economy

Dialogue 1

M: It's hard to be optimistic about things with the way economy's headed, the trade deficit is getting larger, consumption's down, I really think it were headed for recession.

F: The economy has been stagnant for a while now, we've been in a recessive state for several months already, what worry and need most is the trade deficit, I think the government should do more to encourage export.

M: increasing the export would weaken the curency, I think the main point is economic growth, we need more jobs, factory oursource and move many jobs to foreign countries, the result does increase in unemployment in our own country, lower consumption, lower production, and overall people economy, if more people are working, it will give economy a boost.

F: It's true that we should do something about unemployment, but what about inflation? If unemployment falls, there's pressure to increase pay, that will result in inflation, which would result in a much less dynamic economy.

Dialogue 2

M: I think the goverment needs a radical plan to improve things, the government just talks, but in the long run, nothing is done to improve economy.

F: That's right, they always talk about a need for new, for aggressive tactics, they haven't done anything to stimulate new jobs,

M: Well, income taxes would have increased last year in hopes of giving the economy a boost, but I think it's a backfire, the immediate effect of tax adduction was causing the inflation to rise.

F: The worst part is that the inflation hurts the poor more than the rich, it also leads to more unemployment in the long run, I don't know what a good solution would be to make the economy more vibrant again.

M: I have a good solution, we need some new blood, we should get rid of this president and boat in some new leaders.
