French term or phrase: exclure les comptes soldés non mouvementés
Hi all,
I am translating some accounting documents, not sure about the following. Does it mean exclude zero balance accounts with no activity on the accounts? Or words to that effect! Thanks in advance.

exclude zero-balance, zero-movement accounts
Explanation:
Yes, I agree with your interpretation.

For once, I don't think the exact context matters - as mentioned in the discussion box, it could be bank accounts, ledger accounts, or perhaps accounts receivable or a balance sheet.

il ne faut pas omettre les comptes soldés, c'est-à-dire ceux pour lesquels débit = crédit.

exclude zero-balance AND zero-movement accounts


Explanation:
Thinking further, I strongly suspect there's a comma (at the very least) missing.

Ouèbbhe searching reveals there to be a single instance of comptes soldés non mouvementés: yours.

On the other hand, there are a hundred or so sites with both comptes soldés and comptes non mouvementés.

neutral  philgoddard: You have to take the question at face value and not speculate that they might have meant something different. The French makes perfect sense as it stands, and so does my answer.

  -> Part of the job of a translator is to spot nonsense in the source and remedy it.

neutral  SafeTex: I actually think that this slightly adapted suggestion or a previous answer is better. But I also think that it would be far more friendly to agree with that answer and suggest this as an alternative.

neutral  Steve Robbie: Implausible to me as an ex-accountant. If an account has a balance, it's interesting. If there were movements on it, it's interesting. Only if there was neither would you disregard it. Otherwise you risk overlooking something, or distorting your analysis.

exclude closed accounts with no mouvements during the period


Explanation:
This option helps the accountant to detect any problem and then removed any account where no mouvement has being done during the period taken into consideration.

exclude the account balances with no changes


Explanation:
it's about accounts which don't have any transactions found during a given period of time (which don't have any changes) compared with accounts that are shown to have transactions taken place during the same time period.
