English translation:recognition of valuation allowances
Explanation:
I'm assuming from your other question that the entity is reporting under German GAAP.

That said, it still wouldn't hurt to tell us whether this is IFRS, German GAAP (HGB), US GAAP, UK GAAP, and what the valuation allowances refer to. Then you might get higher confidence levels.

agree  Rod Darby (X): I think this is the best suggestion: if you've got "bilden" you need "recognize/recognition"

agree  RobinB: Absolutely fine. It could theoretically be "recognition of impairment losses", but that really depends on the accounting standards involved.
