English term

we fail compliance

English to French Bus/Financial International Org/Dev/Coop bank account
The Agency shall deposit all remittances received from XXX into a separate bank account unless the deposit into a general or pool account has been authorized in this Agreement.

Comments: Although we sign and therefore accept this clause year after year, we **** fail compliance***.
Need to renegotiate the use a general account with the XXXX since it is possible according to their rules.

Je ne sais pas si j'ai bien compris : bien qu'ils signent et donc acceptent la clause, ils la rejettent, s'y opposent. Est-ce le sens?
Merci

I share Tony's concern It sounds to me as though the Agency is signing to say that it will put client X's money in a separate account, but in a actual fact it always goes into a general account. Probably because they're being audited, they now realise that they should take advantage of the "unless" part to get agreement to put the money into a general account.
Tony M Jan 30, 2011:
Who is 'we'? Are they in fact the Agency, who is failing to fulfil their commitment?

I wouldn't entirely agree with your interpretation; depending, as I said, on who the 'we' is, I suspect it means that they sign to say they agree to this clause, but don't in fact comply with its requirements.

Bien que chaque année, nous signions et par là-même validions cette clause, il ne nous est cependant pas possible de la mettre en application

ne parvenons-nous pas à faire respecter

Et, comble de malheur, notre patron nous réduit à l'esclavage. Mais pourquoi donc ne parvenons-nous pas à nous faire respecter ? ...
