Spanish term or phrase: comprobantes de contabilidad
Hola,

Esta vez mi consulta es porque, personalmente considero que no sería necesario traducir "de contabilidad" en "comprobantes de contabilidad"; sin embargo, me gustaría leer la opinión de los expertos en esta rama:

La documentación de respaldo de las operaciones y en especial de los **comprobantes de contabilidad** (documentos primarios y secundarios), será archivada siguiendo un orden lógico y de fácil acceso e identificación.

Los **comprobantes de contabilidad** y documentos fuente, que respaldan las transacciones, serán elaborados en formularios pre numerados y adecuadamente controlados y custodiados.

Los **comprobantes de contabilidad** deberán contener la codificación completa de las cuentas afectadas, una descripción clara y precisa de la transacción realizada, el visto bueno de los funcionarios autorizados y la referencia correspondiente que deberá constar en el libro diario y en el mayor general para su fácil localización

Accounting vouchers? or "vouchers" should suffice?

accounting vouchers
Explanation:
I think it's best to include accounting, particularily at the beginning of a paragraph or section, especially because voucher can also be a receipt or a stub. Then, when it's clear what voucher you're referring to, it would suffice to use these vouchers or such vouchers.

Me parece preferible utilizar el término calificativo accounting para especificar el tipo de comprobante al que te refieres, sobre todo al principio de un párrafo o sección.

transaction receipts


Explanation:
Those can be small documents of registered information, usually encoded to clarify proof of the business transaction which has taken place, where money has changed hands.

Example sentence(s):
  • Los comprobantes de contabilidad deberán contener la codificación completa de las cuentas afectadas, una descripción clara y precisa de la transacción realizada el visto bueno de los funcionarios autorizados
  • The transaction receipts must contain the complete codification of the accounts affected, a clear and precise description of the transaction carried out, in good sight of the authorized clerks and the corresponding references

accounting vouchers


Explanation:
to indicate that they are vouchers used to post entries to the accounts.

--------------------------------------------------

When posting items to company accounts one does not usually do so directly from the source document. The source document is used to generate an accounting voucher with the details of the source document, the number of the account to which it must be posted, and space for the initial or signature of the person authorising the movement to the account.

El contexto habla de "documentos primarios" (los documentos fuente) y "secundarios" - los comprobantes contables que se generan de los mismos.
