Spanish term

corte de auditoría

Spanish to English Bus/Financial Accounting
La frase completa es "Servicio de corte de auditoría diaria " y se trata de uno de los servicios ofrecidos por una compañía que adminisra el mantenimiento y surtimiento de cajeros automáticos para los bancos.

Es eso lo mismo que un "reporte de auditoría"?

Gracias!

audit cutoff

Suggested translation of the whole phrase:
daily audit cutoff service

This is not a report at all. Following is a definition of the term "cutoff date":

Cutoff Date:
Audit procedure for determining whether a transaction took place baefore or subsequent to the end of an accounting period. It assures that the transaction has been recorded in the proper period. It is the date chosen to stop the flow of transactions, merchandise, cash, and so on for audit purposes. For example, in taking a physical inventory, there must be a cutoff date applicable to sales and purchases. This may require closing receiving and shipping rooms while the inventory count takes place. Transactions of one period must be distinguished from those of another. Cutoff errors must be diligently avoided when recording transactions.

Muchas gracias, Alicia. Saludos desde México, Richard.
agree philgoddard : Yes, except I found several instances where the phrase refers to a report. After all, it's no good just doing the cutoff: you have to know what the results were.
