Bus/Financial - Accounting / bank corporate governance
Dutch term or phrase: schattingspost
Dear translators,

I've come across the term 'schattingsposten' and cannot find the English term anywhere. The text is the corporate governance code of a bank and this is the context:

De auditcommissie richt zich in ieder geval op ..... inzicht in de behandeling van “schattingsposten” in de jaarrekening, prognoses, werk van in- en externe accountants terzake, etc.).

Any suggestions? Thanks!
