Spanish term or phrase: obtener soporte de los cobros
I would appreciate some help and suggestions to translate this sentence that can be found in a paragraph describing the audit procedures for a company. This section deals with the sale of a branch owned by the company.

"Hemos obtenido y analizado la documentación contractual de la transacción, con especial énfasis en el análisis de la transferencia de los riesgos asociados al negocio a fin de determinar el momento de registro de la venta. Asimismo, hemos recalculado los resultados obtenidos en la venta tomando en cuenta todos los aspectos relevantes de la transacción y **hemos obtenido soporte de los cobros*** recibidos por la compañía"

Thanks a lot!

  -> True, thanks. But we've all missed the point, except Francois Boye. It's about how the income from the transaction has relieved stresses in other areas of the business by allocation of the funds received Read the context again slowly!

obtain corroboration of the recoveries


Explanation:
..received by the company.

There is no indication that the proof is written, rather than spoken or obtained by online bank statements, besides which corroboration is used in auditing as well as in law.

Example sentence(s):
  • The word 'corroboration' comes from the word 'corroborate' which generally means 'to confirm or to support'.
  • The auditor is required to corroborate all the eight balances selected either by way of confirmation replies

  -> Gracias, Luis!

disagree  Andrew Bramhall: Not really, sorry..//What you say is true, but you've misread the context- see Francois Boye's answer.
5 hrs
  -> An auditor's task includes verifying that there is documentation that confirms the existence of items recorded on the books as collections//soporte has a specific meaning in auditing, and Francois's is completely wrong as the context is from the auditor.

agree  Toni Castano: Full expression: "documentación (de) soporte de los cobros".
