Bus/Financial - Accounting / accounting practice
Danish term or phrase: regnskabsmæssige begægelser
In a short letter pertaining to questions on accounting practice/good principles with reference to a pending case.
..føres forholdsvis store beløb via egenkapitalen som "regnskabsmæssige begægelser", som ikke specificeres naermere...
Is this a 'dodgy accounting' option, or simply something I haven't seen before? Whichever the case, advice on how to put this into English would definitely be appreciated.

agree  Karen Goulding: this would seem appropriate if it is referring to changes in accounting policies, but if the nature of the changes is unclear, perhaps "movements" would fit better, i.e. money is being moved around without explanation.
