German term

Ansatzwert

German to English Bus/Financial Accounting
Hi,
this is a field in a table relating to collateral values

it's Ansatzwert / Nominalwert

Any suggestions? TIA.

This discounted value would then be the "Ansatzwert". So, "Ansatzwert" may differ from "Nominalwert".I think THIS is what they mean here: "either/or" not "and".
Steffen Pollex (X) Jun 2, 2004:
In other cases, like securities or property, the nominal value or purchase price will be discounted by a certain rate in order to sell the collateral quickly, in case of default of the debtor.
Steffen Pollex (X) Jun 2, 2004:
I think tat "Ansatzwert" and "Nominalwert" both have to be translated here. The point is that some types of collateral (say cash and cash equivalents) are valuated as collateral at their full, nominal value.

carrying amount

carrying amount/face (or nominal) value

But it ALL depends on your context - if it's accounting then it also depends on the accounting standard being used.

Peer comment(s):

agree RobinB : "Carrying amount" would be right irrespective of accounting standard, and "notional value" would be equally OK for Nominalwert.

recognised [stated] value

... which would have to be understood in the sense of "(bilanziell?) angesetzter (OR ausgewiesener) Wert". However, this is still somewhat speculative as you haven't provided enough detail.

Questions:
Does this relate to items of a balance sheet, a P&L account...?
Which accounting standards are involved here?

Outside a strict BS/P&L context, this could very well be a value used as a basis for some sort of calculation - so more context would come in handy.
