English translation:(refundable) deposits
Explanation:
caution versee est une somme d'argent,pas une guarantee.Une garantie ne peut pas etre versee.D'ailleurs,une guarantie ne figure pas a l'actif d'un bilan...
Depot et caution sont tous deux traduits par "deposits".Ils s'agit d'un actif au billan parcequ'ils sont des creances remboursables.
