French term or phrase: surface élargie
This is an item in a balance sheet, in between "Provisions pour risques et charges" and "fonds propres". Can anyone tell me what the English translation is? Thanks in advance for your help!

Great - I've got 2 minutes to deliver this traslation - thanks so much! Also glad to hear that it's not often used - I've translated many a balance sheet, and it's the first time I've come across it!

Explanation:
My refs aren't great, hence low confidence; but maybe will help.
You may want to avoid "enlarged assets"; a google search will reveal why ;-)

neutral  Alistair_: Wrong side of the balance sheet possibly? I'd be very surprised to see anything containing 'assets' near 'fonds propres'..

Note to reference poster
Asker: Hi, thanks for this - in fact, I found exactly the same reference when I researched the term myself - didn't really help me in finding out what the English translation is, though :)

Asker: Thanks - I know that often a French explanation of the term is really helpful - but given my scanty knowledge of in-depth accounting terminology, the stuff I found in French may as well have been in Chinese..........;)

agree  philgoddard: If there's no set phrase, you could just say "net equity plus quasi equity".
