French term or phrase: état de reversement
- élaboration des états de reversement

Simply appears in a list of job responsibilities. I know that 'reversement' can mean 'refund' in some contexts, but in this case I think it probably refers to transferring funds between one account and another. Have been unable to find many references to this exact term - and as I have no explanatory context I am having to do a bit of guesswork as to what it is most likely to mean. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.

Explanation:
Given you have no context I think you have to you the least 'risky' term possible. I have only seen 'reverser' used in the sense of diverting money from one person/account to another.
It might be that it's for VAT payments or something like that but it's impossible to guess.

agree  Tom Thumb: reverser is not usually a true pay-back, rather pay-over of tax e.g. to the State: see IATE. It squares with Abführung in DE.

  -> Thanks, 'pay-over' is the word I needed.
