Bus/Financial - Accounting / Chart of accounts
Italian term or phrase: Bilancio a sezioni contrapposte
I can see what this is. It is practically a trial balance, but carefully organised. Is it just a "trial balance"?
This page here http://manuale.wincoge2.it/Manuale/StBilSezContrap-McHelp1.a... describes almost exactly what I am looking at. For example on one side you have all the tangible asset accounts with numbers and amounts, for land, buildings, machiner etc. and on the other side you have the related liability accounts with the accumulated depreciation: a trial balance, but carefully arranged.

Bilancio a sezioni contrapposte fornisce un elenco con i saldi contabili del piano conti suddiviso in:

- stato patrimoniale attivo e passivo su due colonne affiancate con il conteggio dell'eccedenza attiva o passiva

- conto economico con attivo e passivo evidenziati su due colonne affiancate con il conteggio dell'utile o perdita

You could even add "with drilldown", since it looks like that's what you have.

It's financial statements rather than just a balance sheet.

Jim: I know it's not just a balance sheet, which is why I suggested suggested "side-by-side financial statements with drilldown". "Detailed financial statements", as in the previous question, works perfectly too, as does "analytical".

Explanation:
I have a feeling of 'déjà vu' coming on !

I assume that the asker has either forgotten his previous, winning answer or is dissatisfied therewith. Otherwise, forget Tech DC's puerile comment.

Example sentence(s):
  • -> detailed side-by-side financial statements (assets and expense left, liabilities and income right) -

Notes to answerer
Asker: Hi Phil, thank you for your efforts and of course the embarrassing correct link to the previous post, which have definitely been very helpful. Side-by-side is one element, but here we have a balance sheet and an income statement where each item shows the balance on each account in the chart of accounts. It is an income statement, balance sheet, chart of the accounts (with account numbers) and trial balance all rolled into one at the same time and of course with a side by side layout.

Asker: Hi Phil, I translated with side-by-side trial balance in the end. Coming from an agency I could only guess what the translation was for. Basically it was a list of all the tables you would find in the notes to the accounts. Maybe they are using it to translate the software that generates the accounts.
