Bus/Financial - Business/Commerce (general) / Bank statement (Interim report)
Danish term or phrase: Korrektivkonto
Hi,

The term Korrektivkonto is found in under : nedskrivninger på udlån & tilgodehavender (Impairment on loans and receivables), in an Interim report for a Danish bank.

The term is explained: I den löpande redovisningen används korrektivkonton för att balansera en verifikation som annars inte skulle balansera, dvs gå jämnt ut. (Source: http://www.blinfo.se/GetEobEntries.do?id=1042)

Cannot find the English correct term for this word.

Thank you
