Spanish term

operaciones especiales

Spanish to English Bus/Financial Accounting Mexican high school transcript
"Módulo II: Registro de operaciones especiales".
This is the name of a course in a high school accounting vocational program.

Other EN>ES KudoZ entries give "off-cycle transactions" but I'm not sure it's that.
As far as I can tell, in Mexico at least "operaciones especiales" encompasses various concepts, as shown by this coursebook "Registra operaciones especiales" (contents on p. 5):
https://www.slideshare.net/soberbio79/fcpt5-s-registraopespe...
The three main areas are: "Cuentas de orden y documentos descontados y endosados", "Mercancías en comisión y mercancías en consignación", "Registro de operaciones en moneda extranjera".
Is there any term in English for this, or will I just have to use "special transactions" (which sounds kind of shady to me!) or something similar?
Proposed translations (English)

Domini Lucas Mar 22, 2018:
specific? I am not an accountant so don’t know if there is a specialised term. But if you do end up going for a more general one, just wondering whether ‘specific’ might cover you and take away your concern of implying ‘shadiness’ . If it goes on to ‘list’ the areas as you suggest, might ‘specific’ fit?

miscellaneous transactions

Could be an option if you think that "special" sounds somehow shady. Otherwise I'd just say special operations/transactions and leave it at that. However, financial translation is not my area of expertise, and no doubt someone will come along soon with a better term.
Example sentence:

Miscellaneous transactions, such as merchandise check-out and inventory control, electronic funds transfer, automatic teller machine (ATM) operation, lottery transactions, ...

Other account activity - Miscellaneous transactions, such as money market account interest and debit card cashback rewards.
