(headline) summation account

vs. samlingskonto (see Deane G's worthy refs.): subsidiary-ledger control account.

I must confess I have heard of parent companies or corporations but only a parent vs. child account.

I am pretty sure we used to have this headline type of account at the bank I used to work at in Stockholm - as an a/c for totting up trial balances rather than for merchandising sales revenue - but no English equivalent springs to mind.

Example sentence:

This account contains aggregated totals for transactions that are individually stored in subsidiary-level ledger accounts.

You can use this function to print reports on summation accounts that have been defined in the account structure.
