Bus/Financial - Accounting / Financial forecast | | French term or phrase: charges exceptionnelles | "Nous avions pris l’hypothèse, non confirmée par le groupe, d’une affectation de l’ensemble des coûts de restructurations (30M€ estimé) sur les charges exceptionnelles de 2002. "
Is this simply 'exceptional charges or costs', or is there a specific financial term in UK English? |
| | | exceptional costs | Explanation:
exceptional and extraordinary are not exactly the same.
According to the Oxford finance and business dictionary
exceptional items are costs or income affecting the company's profit and loss account that arise from normal activities of the company but are of exceptional magnitude, either large or small.
extraordinary items are costs or income affecting the company's profit and loss account that do NOT derive from normal activities of the company and if undisclosed would distort the normal trend of profits.
