DES

Japanese to English Bus/Financial Accounting Audit report
「担当者によれば、平成22年3月期中には必ずDESを行うとのことであり」

There was an incorrect entry in their ledgers regarding a loan received from another party, and the audit points that out. It goes on to say that the other party will perform DES in the future.

What is DES?

debt-equity swap

I'd go with debt-equity swap, since that is something that can be planned for the future, and it involves a loan, so the accounting for it will change after the swap and whatever was incorrectly recorded will then go on to have other repercussions if not fixed. (Also, they are likely to already use double-entry bookkeeping.) Still, without more context, it's still a guess.

It might be "debt equity swap" which seems to be an accounting terms which means " issue a debt/equity or an equity/debt swap for better financial position".

Double-entry system

Not my field, but this seems possible.

Double-entry bookkeeping system ensures the integrity of the financial values recorded in a financial accounting system. It does this by ensuring that each individual transaction is recorded in at least two different nominal ledgers (sections) of the financial accounting system and so implementing a double checking system for every transaction.
