Note from asker:
You're right. It sounds weird, but it's correct. I've been looking for an alternative, but there's no need. |

: This is the most likely translation, but your explanation doesn't fit the context. It's not about accounting.

Actually, if I'm not wrong, the paragraph refers to a journal entry.

: It may be capital D, but - half a century ago, so pre-Internet, I used to do personal searches onsite of the (beautifully) handwritten folios at the Madrid Reg. Merc. pre-transfer to the Main Log http://www.wikiwords.org/dictionary/term/250154/498860

accounting journal
"An accounting journal is a detailed account of all the financial transactions of a business. It's known as the book of original entry as it's the first place where transactions are recorded. The entries in an accounting journal are used to create the general ledger which is used to create the business financial statements."

It's about an internal audit or inspection of archived journals, books and the file base of data recorded in the Commercial Registry of Madrid, with reference to the requested Company in the instance presented in the accounting journal entry.

Example sentence:
"Los asientos de diario son los registros de transacciones comerciales que se realizan diariamente en ina empresa, y forman parte del diario de contabilidad.
El registro Mercantil es el principal instrumento legal para dotar de seguridad el tráfico mercantil y para la formalización de negocios.

: It isn't about accounting/financial transactions - it's about a COMPANY REGISTER. You still fail to understand CONTEXT.

Discussion
I used to do personal, onsite searches in both Madrid and London where Partnerships had once been registered at the Registry of Business Names (for some nostalgic ? reason until recently, a common English Bar Exam question), albeit Limited Partnerships and now LLPs are regd. at Companies House, London https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/C329
BORME (Boletín Oficial del Registro Mercantil). BORME. Diario oficial.
So it's the "Boletín" itself.
As far as "Mercantile Registry" is concerned, I'd take a look at R. Jower's explanation as to why this may not be the best rendering.
