In a balance sheet.
Kathryn McFarland
C: créancier/ière Ct: Court Terme
Explanation:
This would be my take. It is standard practice to differentiate between long term(more than a year) and short term (less than a year) debtors and creditors in a balance sheet. So it looks as if the debts (with the names of the associated creditors) are being arranged accordingly.

Just to note:

Balance Sheet (Assets & Liabilities; debts are a liability)
Current Account (Income & Expenditure)

Should have said \"debts (=creditors) are a liability\"
