Bus/Financial - Accounting
Dutch term or phrase: deelneming (verbonden onderneming cf. deelnemingsverhouding)
Under financial fixed assets, there is an entry:
A. Verbonden ondernemingen
1. Deelnemingen
2. Vorderingen
B. Ondernemingen waarmee een deelnemingsverhouding bestaat
1. Deelnemingen
2. Vorderingen

Because the dictionary gives so many options (participation, investment, associated company, subsidiary etc.), should I be choosing different terms for 'deelnemingen' under A. and B., or is there one size that fits all?

Explanation:
interests / - 2: Loans (in this context!) -
B: Related entities (not sure about this one!) - 1. Equity holdings -
2. Loans (in this context!)

You are obviously translating financial statements. Just a gentle word of caution: To the uninitiated, this is a minefield which no dictionary will defuse. Take it from me, technical knowledge (accounting) is absolutely essential. I have been doing this work for more than 25 years and had an accounting background to begin with. The subject matter is so complex and subject to so much rapid change that I occasionally still need assistance from accountants in public practice. Good luck!
