According to a note in my personal glossary, I found this in a World Bank glossary. Not sure how many years ago that was. Also found elsewhere was "suspense account"

Explanation:
Since this isn't a current account it is possible that they are referring to accounts for double entry accounting.
Below are two links that I found that are for the same software in both English and Portuguese.
In English they refer to source and destination accounts.
Hope it helps!
