Account(s) clean-up/ cleaning up the books Explanation: Just some general suggestions. These are terms used lately in Montreal in connection with several recent contract and money scandals at our City Hall, although these could equally be applied to any company whose books are in a sorry state and require a bookkeeper or certified accountant to "clean up the mess"! |

accounts balancing Explanation: Opprydding seems to suggest there was a mess there in the 1st place. Normally, reconciliation would be a nice, odourless term for this term, but reconciliation seems to fit better with the next one, avstemming. So maybe something like accounts balancing, reconciliation and year-end procedures? -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs (2009-09-28 18:13:55 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- In the matter of singular or plural, methinks there is oftentimes more than just the single account involved. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 14 hrs (2009-09-29 05:06:44 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Still on the plural hobbyhorse, one difference is that you CAN pick a single stamp, or a single berry...:-) |
