Fiscal accounts and macroeconomic performance
What effect do fiscal stabilization, public sector adjustment, and the design of policies have on macroeconomic balance and growth? The World Bank\'s Policy and Research Department staff and consultants studied fiscal accounts and macroeconomic indicators over 25 years and across many developing countries, with in-depth studies of 10 cases. The answers here confirm some established notions and contradict others.

32 mins confidence: accounts / financial statements
Explanation:
Normally, there is no difference in France between financial accounting and tax accounting, and in your sentence, the "comptes fiscaux" are also referred to as "comptes sociaux" in the next sentence. "Financial statements prepared for tax purposes" would probably be the most accurate way to translate this.
"Accounts" is the term generally used in the UK but the International Accounting Standards recently adopted by the EU use the term "financial statements".
