Discussion

Jack Dunwell Mar 14, 2008:
A total of the completed foreign exchange transaction revenues as shown by the accounts as adjusted by provisions for outstandings at the accounting date "
Laura Molinari (asker) Mar 14, 2008:
I think more examples might be in order It seems to be a common accounting term in French, was hoping there was some succint equivalent in English. "Le reste à faire est la résultante de nos calculs dans FX Report et concerne les contrats de couverture non encore utilisés". "La tendance est une somme des chiffres comptables en réalisé + RAF selon la période de risque". "Au moment du budget au 30/09/2006 le RAF de la valeur intrinsèque est calculé en comparant sur les couvertures prises le cours moyen de couverture au cours budget du 30/09/2006"

disagree Kat_L : I'm sorry but I used to work for a French retail company and this is not correct. In budgetary terms: realisé is sales already generated, RAF refers to the remainder to be done nothing is "pending."

calculations to be performed

Hello,

I think that "reste à faire" is referring to "le calcul" (calculation).

These calculations remain to be performed. I wouldn't put it at the end of the sentence as the French does.

outstanding tasks

What expression might one actually use in English? I would have thought "outstanding" would be very likely to be part of it. Depending on the context it could also be "outstanding issues", "outstanding matters", etc.
