Spanish term
cuenta contable (in this context)
Spanish to English
Bus/Financial
Accounting
Auditor report from Spain
The usual translations don't seem to work in this context. It indicates an accounting event, rather than a type of account. The sentence is as follows: Revisar transferencias bancarias realizadas una semana antes y una despues de cada *cuenta contable* de bancos y verificarla con los extractos bancarios.

Discussion
What was confusing me is my thinking that it said "the week before" or "the week after" the *cuenta contable*. It is just barely sinking into my brain that the "despues " and "antes " refer not to the account, (ie. two weeks before or after the account) but to two weeks before or after the date in the audit -- which is not mentioned in this sentence. And the "de" means *from* (the account) and is not part of the term "despues de". Thank you so much for helping me figure this out, all of you, by inisisting that it is definitely an account.
