Spanish term or phrase: saldo contrario
Se trata de un informe contable de cierre de año. El término aparece varias veces, a saber:
1.- Se recomienda revisar los registros con saldos contrarios, ya que si se trataran de anticipos a proveedores, sería necesaria su reclasificación a la cuenta de Activo correspondiente.
2.- La cuenta incluye $6.00 de saldo contrario.
¿Podría ser negative balance?
Gracias por la ayuda!!!
