Swedish term or phrase: prickning
Hi, I'm looking for the correct English in this context (the glossary entry here of penalty points doesn't seem to fit) This appears in a list of services provided by an accounting consultant to its client under wage management as follows.

Thanks for your help

agree  Agneta Pallinder: And in response to Paul's explanation, I believe the two alternative activities are 1) avstämning and 2) checking somebody else's avstämning and "pricka av" the fist person's ticks or whatever marks they use. This was once standard procedure in banks.

Explanation:
I agree that penalty points doesn't fit here. My experience is that swedes use "prickning" occasionally to, As Helena G suggest, tick off items on a list. However, because there are two alternatives here, namely "Avstämning/prickning" where I suggest that "avstämning" means reconciliation (the action of making financial accounts consistent), I suggest that "prickning" means the opposite of that, in other words, rejection or notation of errors, or sometning along those lines.
