Bus/Financial - Accounting / Balance sheet items
Spanish term or phrase: almacenes
Necesito confirmar a qué se refiere la partida de un balance "almacenes" según los estándares de España. Tengo la impresión, aunque no estoy segura, de que no puede referirse a "warehouses" o "stores", sino a "goods on hand"; en el PCGA de Argentina sería "existencias".
El contexto es un informe del auditor abriendo el paraguas sobre la certeza del balance, las típicas frases, y menciona esta partida.
Gracias x la ayuda.

Explanation:
I think you are right with your interpretation, the meaming could be similar to "existencias".

Capítulo 10: Marketing. Almacenes de la empresa

Nivel de existencias

Se entiende por nivel de existencias la cantidad de material que la empresa mantiene habitualmente en sus almacenes (Figura 4.34).
En este sentido, la calidad de servicio de un almacén se mide por el grado de cumplimiento que es capaz de dar a los pedidos que recibe (Tabla 4.15).
