在财报类文件翻译工作中,经常会碰到 Form 8k、403 (b) plan 等专业术语,有时候原文仅提及,未作详细说明。现就相关信息梳理如下:
指证券交易委员会要求的,披露那些潜在地影响一家公司财务状况或股票市值的重要事件的报告。该报告在事件(未决合并、公司执照的修正、因贷款损失而对收入的冲销)发生后的 30天内递交,并概括任何理性投资者在购买或出售证券前想要知道的信息。
Annual financial report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Issuers of registered securities are required to file a 10K, as well as corporations with 500 or more shareholders, assets of $ 2 million, and exchange listed corporations. The report, which becomes public information once filed with the SEC, summarizes key financial information, including sources and uses of funds by type of business, net pre-tax operating income, provision for income taxes and loan losses, plus comparative financial statements for the last two fiscal years. A summary of the 10K report is included in the annual report to stockholders.
指向证券交易委员会递交的年度财务报告。已登记证券的发行人、股东人数为500或以上的公司、资产达到200万美元的公司,以及在交易所上市的公司都需要递交10K 报告。该报告一且递交给证券交易委员会就成为公开信息,其中概括了关键的财务信息,包括各种类型业务资金的来源和使用、净税前经营收入、对所得税和贷款损失的准备金,再加上最近两个财政年度的可比财务报表。10K 报告的摘要附在给股东的年报中。
Form 1099/1099表单
Official disclosure of calendar year payments, such as bank interest earned on deposit and escrow accounts, stock dividends, bond interest, pension payments, and royalties required for income tax reporting. Banks and other organizations reporting interest or dividend payments mail a 1099 notice to their customers early in a new year.
指对日历年付款的正式披露,如存款和保管账户的银行利息、股息、债息、养老金支付,以及所得税申报所要求的版税。银行和其他组织在报告利息和股息支付款时,需在新的一年初期向其顾客邮寄一份1099通知。
Form 10Q/10Q表单
指上市公司和被要求需向证券交易委员会递交一份年度10K 报告的公司所递交的季度财务报告。10Q报告不一定要被审计,它概括了收入和支出的关键财务数据,并将当前的财务信息同前一年度同一季度报告的数据进行比较。
401(k) Plan/401(k)计划
Early withdrawals from a 401(k) plan are subject to a 10% penalty tax except for certain conditions, such as disability or a qualifying hardship. See also Salary Reduction Plan.
指雇主发起的允许个体将部分收入缴入储蓄计划或公司利润分享计划的薪水延期计划。缴纳款和收入所得在59.5岁前,或当雇员退休或离开公司前可以递延所得税。参与合格的401(k)计划的个体可以有选择地每年缴纳薪水收入的15%,直到年度调整的限额。薪水延期也可以通过雇主的匹配缴款实现,即少于补偿金额的25%或是3万美元减去薪水延期。
提前从401(k)中取款要接受10%的惩罚税收,除非是一些特定情况,例如,残疾或证明提款人的生活非常艰苦。
403(b)Plan/403(b)计划
Assets of a 403(b) plan may be invested in insurance company contracts or mutual funds. Funds may not be withdrawn before age 59.5 or termination of employment without tax penalty, except for certain hardship situations.
指公务员或非营利机构雇员的税收递延储蓄计划。403(b)计划类似于401(k)薪水扣减计划,允许通过薪金总额扣减计划进行自愿缴款。
403(b)计划的资产可以投资于保险公司合约或共同基金。除了特定的困难情况外,在59.5岁前或是雇佣结束前取款是要接受税收惩罚的。
