To balance accounts


Explanation:
Hi Peter!

This is my interpretation of your query.

This means that the balances of debit and credit, an maybe the individual transactions are verified and checked.
Both sides should balance.

It does not neccessarily involve any payment into these accounts and is purely a bookkeeping/accountancy -matter.
