Due to discrepancies between the

back office and accounting in the Australian subsidiary, a net provision of 3.3 million Euros has been made.

Back office and accounting are two divisions of the same company: Accounting being middle office.Here I believe the reference is to different departmental results, but also think the French is fuzzy to begin with.

agree Tony M : That's the way I read it too, though could 'discrepancies' be better? I don't know if 'spread' is the more professional term...?

if it is in term of finances, spread would be use, but I like discrepancies too. All will depend on the context. cheers for the support
disagree Jane Lamb-Ruiz (X) : no spread have to do with interest rates..no amounts
