Deferment


Explanation:
Deferment=Rückstellung (fixed term in audit& accounting). Have nothing to day about forbearance. It might have been helpful to have a whole paragraph: what's the context, what company we are talking about, are we on the asset or liability side of the balance sheet? Without this, I fear, there's little to do about this phrase, and it will be mainly guessing.
