Portuguese term or phrase: contas de resultado

Olá, tenho uma dúvida. Ao traduzir texto sobre contabilidade/auditoria se fala muito em "contas de ativo, passivo e de resultado" Há um padrão formal para essas "contas de resultado"? (Me parece que isso é demonstrado no "Income Statement" Obrigado

Acho que vai depender do contexto; na minha opinião e salvo a divergência Portugal/Brasil, acho que o original não é muito claro. se me quiser enviar um pouco mais do texto, para [email protected], possdo dar uma olhada.

income statement

Explanation:
most likely is the income statement, which is usually called the demonstração de resultado.
and probably where it says "contas de ativo, passivo e de resultado" it means the financial statements, i.e., balance sheet and income statement.
