Financial And Accountancy/Bookkeeping Words

[steverino]

My wife is studying the above at College and she just can't get the correct Thai translation for 'liabilities' (in the financial sense). ie. a company has liabilities as opposed to assets. She thinks it's 'nee sin'. sorry it's not in thai but we only have a uk lappy. Why? coz that's where we are.

Secondly does anyone know of a Thai website for book keeping in Thai?

Thanks Steve

I just downloaded, for example, the financial statements for Esso Thailand which are available at http://esso-th.listedcompany.com/financials_statement.html

Here are the headings of the several sections of the balance sheet:

สินทรัพย์ - Assets

สินทรัพย์หมุนเวียน - Current Assets

สินทรัพย์ไม่หมุนเวียน - Non-current Assets

หนี้สินและส่วนของผู้ถือหุ้น - Liabilities and Shareholders' Equity

หนี้สินหมุนเวียน - Current Liabilities

หนี้สินไม่หมุนเวียน - Non-current Liabilities

ส่วนของผู้ถือหุ้น - Shareholders' Equity

You can look at the individual lines to see how the balance sheet elements are styled in Thai.

You can also go to the Thai Stock Exchange website, select any company, and then check any of their different sheets: cashflow/ balance sheet/ profit sheet. All in Thai and English.
