parallel accounts
Explanation:
This is referring to companies keeping two parallel sets of accounts in the changeover period from the Franc to the Euro!
I don't know of an 'official' translation as yet, in English, but I think 'parallel accounts' or 'parallel accounting' would be understandable and unambiguous to most people.

Les adaptations informatiques restent ainsi cantonnées à l’amont et à l’aval des applicatifs de gestion, les flux financiers éventuels euro étant toutefois retracés à la fois dans une comptabilité annexe appelée « comptabilité miroir », et dans une comptabilité francs, appelée « comptabilité maîtresse » en comptabilité générale de l’Etat.

Explanation:
I agree with Ms. Gal. here is a context:
There is no requirement on operators to maintain a system of parallel accounting. However, where an operator seeks to depart from parallel accounting, the following circumstances will predispose the Director to find the accounting rate, method of settlement or division of the accounting rates
