English term or phrase: accounting for

Public knowledge
Unlike many other parts of the world, in the UK there is no requirement to disclose data breaches. The Identity Theft Resource Center (ITRC) reports that data breaches doubled to 167 in the US during the first quarter of this year, compared with the equivalent a year ago.
That figure is probably similar in the UK, even without the ITRC figures {accounting for} the encrypted files that may have been compromised. However, there remains no real breakdown of the number of breaches that are directly related to mobile data.

Chinese translation:负责；专门做这方面的事

Explanation:
The Identity Theft Resource Center (ITRC) 是美国的机构，而英国并无此机构。美国有ITRC来收集公布这方面的数据，英国没专门机构干这事儿，所以没有数据。这句话是说，虽然英国并无这种ITRC机构来负责弄这方面的信息或情报，但估计情况也可美国差不多。

我说的只是翻译这段话时的基本思路，不是单纯的对译。严格来说，“ITRC figures accounting for”意思是说，“ITRC这种机构的专门数据来对这方面的问题进行统计说明”（当然，这样说，也是已经按汉语习惯进行了整理），所以，如果单纯说“accounting for”的意思的话，还是“总结、描述、说明”等类似意思。而从根义来说，其实还是来自于条头建议中的意思，只不过建议中提供的意思一般是用人或机构作主语，此处是数据，自不能那么去译。

事情较多，匆匆而过，没解释清楚，见凉。

Explanation:

此处用如果在翻译中用“account for”的本义，句子是很难处理通的，只有意译才好处理。
总而言之，言而总之，这里说的是与……对应或与……相关的数字。^_^

解释

Explanation:
本人认为account for在此应作“解释”解。
在www.answers.com上account for有一义项为: Explain or justify
本句的基本意思是:英国的情况可能也差不多，尽管英国没有ITRC数字用以解释（说明）受危害的加密文件情况。

FYI

Example sentence(s):

Jane was upset because her son couldn't account for the three hours between his last class and his arrival at home.
