adjustment / return / restitution / reversal Explanation: There seems to be litte agreement. I have seveeral Swedish ARs with their English versions on a CD, and this single word is translated differently in 4 different ARs. So there is no "official" term. Sven's "reversal" is a good safe choice. |

adding back/re-entry Explanation: I'm not an accountant, who would probably choose another term, but this is one example of how it's been translated. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2007-04-20 12:20:43 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Add-back seems to be the term! Net return This is the true economic view of a company. It is calculated by recasting the financial statements of a business to eliminate direct and indirect owner-related expenses as well as extraordinary or non recurring items. This type of recast is known as an add-back. There might also be the converse, an add-on where the expenses are not realistic with beneficial rents or lower salaries being paid.

write-back; re-inclusion Explanation: Unless written off - which produce the opposite effect of a write-back - costs cannot be reversed. Only the entry can. It's a pity Gullberg's dictionary has nothg to say about the matter. Example sentence(s):
