Italian term

stralcio prudenziale di minusvalenze

Italian to English Bus/Financial Finance (general)
Il bilancio redatto al 31/5/2005 contabilizza una perdita che risente dello stralcio prudenziale di minusvalenze su oneri pluriennali che potrebbero non avere più utilità economica futura al termine del progetto di ristrutturazione della fabbrica e di riposizionamento del prodotto per un valore di 225 K€ e non considera le azioni di richiesta di risarcimento danni avviate nei confronti di fornitori a partire dal mese di agosto 2005 che dovrebbero apportare sopravvenienze attive per ristorno di debiti di fornitura contabilizzati al 31/5/2005 e per il momento ancora non quantificabili con certezza.

prudent/accelerated recognition of expense/expenditure

I can't think of a specific equivalent accounting term in English, so I have sought a term which is descriptive (if not official).

Essentially, instead of recognising a cost/expenditure over several years (because it has a beneficial economic impact over several years), they have accelerated recognition of that expenditure charging the remaining expenditure to the current year.
Peer comment(s):

agree Grey Drane (X) : Yeah, I think the use of "stralcio" here mucks things up in the Italian text (as does the redundant "minusvalenze su oneri"), but this is how I understand the situation, too.

thanks, yes it is basically a "reversal" but that is superfluous in English...especially with the other elements of the sentence alongside
neutral marionclarion : doesn't minusvalence indicate negative values?

yes, it does. See Grey's comment. It is minus because it is a reduction in a capitalised expenditure on the balance sheet (matched by a charge to P&L)
