French to English Bus/Financial Business/Commerce (general) Financial Statement
Hello all,
Another item from a financial statement. The agency has FNP as unbilled payables in its database, just not sure about interco. Intercompany? Thanks for any help....

Francois Boye Oct 14, 2020:
accrued expenses payable -Interco-Services = accrued expenses payable settlement services across companies of the same group

Steve Robbie Oct 14, 2020:
If you prefer, you could call them "accrued invoices" / "invoice accruals" etc., but "unbilled payables" works for me - the context suggests what is meant. "Accrued expenses" is a term for charges à payer in general.
Francois Boye Oct 13, 2020:
Une FNP est une facture non parvenue. C'est une facture que l'entreprise doit comptabiliser parce que la livraison ou la finalisation de la prestation de service ont eu lieu au cours de l'exercice clos. Ce sont des écritures de régularisation qui permettent de rattacher la charge au bon exercice comptable. Elles prennent la forme d'une CHARGE A PAYER.
Julie Barber Oct 13, 2020:
I agree with Steve's explanation of "Intercompany" - payments between companies within a group.

Unbilled payables - Interco - Services

FNP = Factures non parvenues, so your database's "unbilled payables" is OK. It refers to an goods or services that you have received, but for which the bill hasn't been received yet. For cut-off reasons, you need to make an accrual for the relevant amount in your accounts.

e.g.

Based on what you've described, I see no reason why it shouldn't be "intercompany", i.e. relating to transactions with other companies in the same group. It is OK abbreviate to "Interco" in English, if space is lacking - accountants will know what it means.

disagree Francois Boye : FNP is not an unbliied payable. Instead, They are bills received AFTER the accounting period.. As the result, The bills in this account are usually recorded with accrual adjusting entries made at the end of the accounting period

They are unbilled at the year end. That is why they are called "unbilled". You are right about the rest.

accrued expenses payable -Interco-Services

Qu'est-ce qu'une FNP ?

Une FNP est une facture non parvenue. C'est une facture que l'entreprise doit comptabiliser parce que la livraison ou la finalisation de la prestation de service ont eu lieu au cours de l'exercice clos. Ce sont des écritures de régularisation qui permettent de rattacher la charge au bon exercice comptable. Elles prennent la forme d'une CHARGE A PAYER.

What is the difference between accounts payable and accrued expenses payable?
Definition of Accounts Payable

Accounts Payable is a liability account in which suppliers' or vendors' approved invoices are recorded. As a result, the balance in Accounts Payable should be a precise amount.

Definition of Accrued Expenses Payable
Accrued Expenses Payable is a liability account that records amounts that are owed, but the vendors' invoices have not yet been received and/or have not yet been recorded in Accounts Payable as of the end of the accounting period. The amounts in this account are usually recorded with accrual adjusting entries made at the end of the accounting period.

Examples of Accrued Expenses Payable
In addition to the amounts associated with vendors' invoices, accrued expenses may also include wages, interest, utilities, and other expenses that were incurred and owed, but not yet recorded in the general ledger accounts. Some of the amounts recorded in Accrued Expenses Payable may be estimated amounts that should supported by reasonable and documented calculations..

Définition de l'Intercos

L'intercos est une opération comptable effectuée dans les groupes de sociétés, qui consiste à supprimer toutes les opérations effectuées entre des sociétés appartenant à un même groupe.

Ce rapprochement d'opérations intra-groupe, appelé « Intercos », concerne en majorité les opérations suivantes :

les achats et ventes de marchandises ou de services entre sociétés d'un même groupe ;
les financements accordés entre entités d'une même compagnie ;
les cessions intra-groupe d'immobilisations ;
les distributions de dividendes entre sociétés membre d'un même groupe.

accrued expenses payable -Interco-Services = accrued expenses payable settlement services across companies of the same group
Peer comment(s):

neutral Steve Robbie : As your examples make clear, invoice accruals are only one type of accrued expense. So this suggestion isn't wrong, but it also isn't precise.

Unbilled payables are NOT accrued expenses payable. You should have read the definition of FNP in French first before translating.
