Bus/Financial - Accounting
German term or phrase: Abklärungskonto
An item in a balance sheet.

I have found the following definition in a different document: "Auf dem Abklärungskontowerden Kapitaleinzahlungen bis zur definitiven Zuteilung verbucht". Is this always what an Abklärungskonto, and what would the term be in English? Thanks.

agree  Gisela Greenlee: I also know it as "suspense account"
27 mins

disagree  xxxwfarkas: 'Clearing account' and 'suspense account' are not interchangeable. Each has its specific purpose in recording accounting data. I do agree in the context of a single purpose account such as the example provided by the asker (Kapitaleinzahlungskonto)
