Explanation:
"Abgrenzung f
(ReW) accruals and deferrals
(ie, to reflect the lack of coincidence of the accounting period and the benefit period; syn, Rechnungsabgrenzung, qv)
(KoR) assignment of cost or expense not relating to accounting period or operating purpose"

Schäfer – Hyperbook Wirtschaftsenglish

Abgrenzngen, active = prepayments, deferred charges, deferred expenses
Abgrenzungen, passive = accruals, deferred income

Arthur Andersen

Abgrenzungen = deferred (earnings) items, accruals and deferrals

Hamblock/Wessels – Großwörterbuch Wirtschaftsenglisch, Reinhart von Eichborn – Der kleine Eichborn, Zahn – Wörterbuch Bank- und Börsenwesen, and Romain – Wörterbuch der Rechts- und Wirtschaftssprache all give more or less the same translations.
