Italian term or phrase: contabilità ordinaria
"Esempio di fattura di acquisto (contabilità ordinaria)". Does this mean "general accounting"?

normal accounting
Explanation:
I believe this relates to tax rules. Normal accounting is obligatory under Italian tax law for all companies. As a free lance "libero professionista" with a tunrnover below a certain amount, I do not have to keep normal double entry accounting books. I just have a purchases book and a sales book. I have no ledgers and draw up no profit and loss account or balance sheet as is normal practice under normal accounting procedures. I follow the "regime semplificata". I don't believe you will find exact equivalents and terms in the the US and UK.

general accounts


Explanation:
From the Codeluppi, i've got:

contabilità generale = general accounts.

'ordinaria' means 'generale' in this context, hence my proposal.
