Bus/Financial - Accounting / Financial report
French term or phrase: Compte de régul. actif
This is an extract from the 'Registre National du Commerce et des Sociétés'. Under ACTIF (Assets), just before the total there is 'Compte de régul. actif' and the same under PASSIF (liabilities);, Compte de régul. passif.

I'm not sure what the regul. stands for... Can anyone help? Thanks.

accruals


Explanation:
Compte de régul. = Compte de régularisation
From: www.greffe-tc-paris.fr/paraphes/doc/Decret_n83-1020_29nov19...
p4, article 11
Modifié par Décret 94-750 30 Aout 1994 art 1 JORF 1er septembre 1994.
L'actif du bilan fait apparaître successivement au moins les éléments suivants :
1° Au titre de l'actif immobilisé : les immobilisations incorporelles, les immobilisations corporelles et les immobilisations financières ;
2° Au titre de l'actif circulant : les stocks et en-cours, les avances et acomptes versés sur commandes, les créances, les valeurs mobilières de placement et les disponibilités ;
3° Les comptes de régularisation ;
4° Les primes de remboursement des obligations et les écarts de conversion


Compte de régularisation = accruals
Définition de Compte de régularisation - Lexique de finance
From: http://www.vernimmen.net/html/glossaire/definition_compte_de...
Compte de régularisation (Pour plus de détails, voir produits et chages constatés d'avance et charge à répartir, voir page 146)
Les comptes de régularisation permettent techniquement de réaliser le principe comptable d'autonomie des exercices, c'est-à-dire de rattacher à chaque exercice les produits et charges non quand ils sont facturés mais quand ils sont consommés. Les principaux comptes sont les charges et produits constatés d'avances, les charges à payer, les produits non à recevoir et les charges à repartir.
Equivalent anglais : Accruals

Compte de régul. passif would be deferrals.
accruals and deferrals

  -> Thank you Nautiilus! Your comments and answer are well documented! :)
neutral  Lori Cirefice: the way I understand it, both accruals and deferrals are régularisations that can apply to either assets or liabilities. http://www.samarak.com/bookkeeping-center/bookkeeping-dictio... + another link below, too long

  -> thanks
agree  rkillings: 'Adjustment account' is SAP and de facto standard terminology. No need even to specify 'asset' if it's clearly on that side of the balance sheet. Avoids the issue of accruals vs. deferrals.
