notes to the accounts for the year ended


Explanation:
This is from Barclays Bank Annual Report 2009:
"Notes to the accounts
For the year ended 31st December 2009"
Many translators and agencies insist on "notes to the financial statements" or even "explanatory notes to the financial statements" slavishly following IASB international standards. However there is no obligation to follow the IASB captions (IASB don't themselves require it) and most like Barclays follow the standard age-old term in the accounting manuals.

agree  Grey Drane (X): yep
37 mins
  -> Hi Grey nice to see you.
neutral  Leonarda Coviello: Maybe Jim. However, with your explanation you are telling me that all the translations from English into Italian I've made so far (approved by the clients, BTW) are possibly wrong, 'cause this is how I translated"Notes to the Financial Statements as at".
11 hrs
  -> No, not wrong, an acceptable alternative. It irritates me that most in Italy consider it as the only correct translation and "notes to the accounts as wrong". Also "as at" is not very elegant. Consider also the empirical e evidence, Barclays Bank.
agree  DCypher (X): Accounts or Financial Statements. Accounts is somewhat UK-centric.
