Spanish term

crifas

Spanish to English Bus/Financial Accounting tender document
Colombian Spanish, from a "Formulario para la acreditación capacidad patrimonial del Proponiente", part of an official tender document.

Several titles to tables, for example
Crifas del balance general
Crifas de estados financieros

From the table entries, it appears to be "Extracts" or something similar, but I can find confirmation of this.

¡gracias de antemano!
Proposed translations (English)

and on Wikipedia... ...it suggests "Comisión de Relaciones Internacionales de las Federaciones Anarquistas"!

If it's a double typo (by copy/paste?), then so be it: "cifras" certainly fits the context. I just want to check it's not one of the strange financial acronyms like ebitda, or some Colombianism or something like that

Nigel If you Google this, it says "Did you mean cifras?"

cifras - figures

looks like a typo to me!
Note from asker:
Always possible, but I don't think so in this case. There are very few, if any, typos in the rest of the document, and these are titles, in boldface and capitals. Thanks anyway for the suggestion.
