Turkish term or phrase: mal müdürlüğü
Çevirdiğim metinde hem "mal müdürlüğü" hem "defterdarlığı" terimleri geçer. Net bir tanımlamaya bir türlü rastalayamadım, ama anlayabildiğim kadar ile, il düzeyinde defterdarlığı neyse, ilçe düzeyinde mal müdürlüğü benzer işlevi var. O zaman, uygun karşılıkları şöyle olabilir diye düşünüyorum:
"defterdarlığı" için "provincial financial office"
"mal müdürlüğü" için "sub-provincial financial office".
Düşünceleriniz/önerileriniz için teşekkür ederim.

English translation:sub-provincial financial administration
Explanation:
Using "sub-province" or "district" is your choice. In fact, none of them exactly matches "ilçe" in my opinion.
On the other hand, "revenue" is not accurate enough, since "mal müdürlüğü" does not only deal with revenue, but also with expenses. This is an important point, I think.
You may also prefer to use "administration" instead of "office"; "administration" sounds more official to me and may be a better choice for identifying a government/public office.

Thank you for confirming my line of thought. I actually think that "sub-provincial directorate of finance" would be the most logical term, although it is not used.

Asker: Thanks, but in my context I need to draw a clear distinction between 'Mal Müdürlüğü' and 'Defterdarlığı' and the term you give could be used for both.
