write-down(名词):指在会计或商业语境中,将资产账面价值下调(例如因价值下降、坏账、减值等),从而在财务报表中确认损失。
(也可泛指“把内容写下来”的动作,但更常见写法是 write down,不一定加连字符。)
/ˈraɪtˌdaʊn/
The company took a write-down on its old inventory.
公司对旧库存进行了减值(计提减记)。
After the acquisition, the auditors required a large write-down of goodwill, which reduced the year’s profits significantly.
收购之后,审计师要求对商誉进行大额减值,这使该年度利润显著下降。
由动词短语 write down(写下;把某项数值“写低”)演变而来。在财务会计中,“写低/减记”逐渐固定为名词 write-down,用来指代对资产价值进行下调的会计处理与结果。
