Produits et avoirs à recevoir

French to English Bus/Financial Finance (general) Auditor\'s report
Hello all,
This comes from an auditor's report on annual accounts under the heading COMPLEMENTS D'INFORMATIONS RELATIFS AU BILAN ET AU COMPTE DE RESULTAT. I've put accrued income and credit notes receivable, but not sure that's right. The following line is Charges à payer et avoirs à établir, which I presume is the converse. Thanks for any help!

Adrian MM. Jul 22, 2019:
Credit notes receivable --- is too narrow and not an accounting term of art, plus avoirs could include tax refunds and hold-over reliefs receivable for which the French Treasury do not issue 'credit notes'. Also the 'notes receivable' component is misleading in the context: www.accountingtools.com/articles/2017/5/14/notes-receivable...

Thanks for the confirmation Ian!
Adam Warren Jul 22, 2019:
Anne, you've answered your own question: "accrued income and credit notes receivable" is right.

accrued revenue and receivables

https://debitoor.fr/termes-comptables/produit-recevoir

Accrued revenue is a sale that has been recognized by the seller, but which has not yet been billed to the customer. The debit balance in the accrued billings account appears in the balance sheet, while the monthly change in the consulting revenue account appears in the income statement.

Products (in stock) and receivables

It seems an account is being taken for the year and they want to know what they have (products) and what is owed them (receivables).

(gen) income and amounts receivable; (conveyancing) proceeds of sale & credit balances receivable

I am not as confident as the previous respondent, but am pretty sure the conveyancing part of my answer - that is pr/offered for info. only - will be queried, even though a real estate (AmE: realty) business/ company cannot be ruled out.

The plan provided for a repayment of 91 percent of the debt rescheduling *credit balance* for Jordan and 85 percent for Gabon.

Pour la Jordanie, l'accord prévoyait un remboursement de 91 pour cent et pour le Gabon de 85 pour cent de *l'avoir* de rééchelonnement.

neutral Francois Boye : https://debitoor.fr/termes-comptables/produit-recevoir// This is the definition in French. No one should depart from this meaning.

noscitur a sociis - know a word by the company it keeps www.merriam-webster.com/legal/noscitur a sociis - and your own answer eschews products for revenue that, paradoxically, is itself ambiguous for tax receivables.
neutral AllegroTrans : Conveyancing? Nothing remotely indicates such

Your objection and protest had already been anticipated: '....but am pretty sure the conveyancing part of my answer - that is pr/offered for info. only - will be queried...' NB proceeds were or was meant primarily to dispel the 'products' misconception.
