Bus/Financial - IT (Information Technology) / Company profile | | German term or phrase: in unserer Bilanz | Wir habe Technologie "in unserer Bilanz", die wir nicht mehr nutzen.
Der Abschnitt setzt sich mit der von der Firma verwendeten Software auseinander. Er bemängelt die Tatsache, dass oft in Software investiert wird, die eine Abschreibungsdauer von 5 jahren hat, jedoch nach 2 Jahren bereits durch neuere Versionen ersetzt werden muss. Danach kmmt dieser Satz. Bilanz kann hier wohl kaum als "balance sheet" übersetz werden, oder? |

| | English translation:on our balance sheet | Explanation:
I think it's important to stay close to the German - there's no reason to find alternative ways of saying it. They still have technology on the asset side of their balance sheet because it's depreciated over five years even though it becomes obsolescent in two. In other words, their depreciation policy doesn't reflect reality. |
