Contrepartie notifiée
This is another entry from a financial statement. It comes in the AUTRES CREANCES section. Am doing it in Memoq so it is possible that Effets de commerce is the next entry, but both are in the same segment. Is it something to do with compensation? Thanks for any help.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.
Proposed translations
Counterparty notified
So unless you have the original file, I'd just translate this literally.

I guess it could also be "compensation notified" or "offset notified" depending on what "contrepartie" refers to (maybe not a person but something else)
| Thanks. And for voters for non-pro, I obviously translated it as counterparty notified to begin with, but couldn't see its relevance to the context. There is apparently something called a contra account / compte de contrepartie but I can't see that being relevant either. |

Thanks. I'm surprised as I began to think that there could be other possibilities.

: I think the idea may be that the counterparty's identity is known. Effets de commerce is negotiable instruments.

: Given that this is on a financial statement, not a legal contract context, I think we are straying from the intended financial/accounting intention, and that the word "consideration" should be in there, NOT "counterpart(y)".

And you may well be right as I said myself that I had second thoughts afterwards.

I should add that "consideration" is a term commonly used in Canada for the French "contrepartie" when it comes to tax and accounting, on balance sheets.
In a standard house purchase the chargeable **consideration notified** to us will be the same consideration recorded on the disposition and in the application for registration sent to the Registers of Scotland.
Comprises chargeable **consideration notified** that meets the deed being ...
