Definition
核算 is a formal verb meaning 'to examine and calculate' or 'to assess' — it's the core term for financial auditing, cost accounting, and business reconciliation. You'll see it in professional contexts like 成本核算 ('cost accounting') and 核算数据 ('to verify data'). It's not used for everyday mental arithmetic (that's 算 or 计算); it implies a systematic, often official, review of figures.
