French term or phrase: créances envers le personnel (salaires)
This one is confusing me!

Comes in section 'Actif circulant' under sub-heading 'autres créances' . The amount is 400 euro

How can salaries be accounts receivable?

TIA for any help

agree  Charlie Bavington: Seems the most likely, although I would prefer "staff" as the qualifier not "personnel", and that "salaires" in brackets is a bit puzzling, unless it's meant to be "salariés"

  -> could also use employee instead of personnel - thanks, Charlie!

amounts owed to staff (salaries)


Explanation:
"créance" just means a receivable, not "accounts receivable". Here it means the amount of salaries that are to be paid to staff.

neutral  Sylvia Smith: but if they are 'to be paid', wouldn't they be liabilities (payables), not receivables? according to the post, this appears under the 'current assets' of the balance sheet
12 mins
  -> Hmm, you're right that is strange.
neutral  Charlie Bavington: I was about to make a very similar comment to Sylvia's - surely these would be "dettes" not "créances"....?
