settlement of accounts

French translation: règlement des comptes

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
English term or phrase:settlement of accounts
French translation:règlement des comptes

Bus/Financial - Accounting
English term or phrase: settlement of accounts
The full sentence goes: XXXX are to be congratulated on their timely settlement of accounts.

It refers to a section on credit control, for a society.

I have found "règlements de compte ou arrêtés de compte" but I'm not sure which one to use.

I have 2 sentences on accounting out of 12,000 words of a non technical text, unfortunately not being a specialist in the subject, I don't know what is the correct way to translate it!

Asker: Malheureusement, je n'ai pas plus de contexte... Le paragraphe en question, intitulé "credit control" ne contient que 2 phrases!! Je suis dans le floue le plus absolu!! (mais effectivement, l'idée de féliciter quelqu'un pour un arrêté des comptes ne semble pas très logique)

Pour traduire: "XXXX are to be congratulated on their timely settlement of accounts" <> "XXXX sont à féliciter pour l'apurement à temps de leurs comptes"
