I think you are right, Alison!
Alison MacG Jun 24, 2011:
Perhaps Verbindlichkeiten?
Veronika McLaren (asker) Jun 24, 2011:
That's what I found, too. The abbreviation is in the heading line of the consolidated balance sheet along with HGB, PCO-Methode, Antizipation Verluste aus Vertrag, Ausweis [POC Verb.], IFRS...

Liabilities from construction contracts

"POC-Verbindlichkeiten" is a not uncommon German accounting abbreviation for "Verbindlichkeiten aus nach der POC-Methode bilanzierten langfristigen Fertigungsaufträgen" (i.e. liabilities under construction contracts accounted for using the percentage of completion method).

As the POC (percentage of completion) method is the required method of accounting for construction contracts under IFRSs (and may also in rare circumstances be permitted under German GAAP), assets and liabilities, and income, expenses and profit from construction contracts are quite often abbreviated to "POC-x" in German accounting documents.

For POC = percentage of completion, see e.g. http://financial-education.com/2007/02/05/percentage-of-comp...

Note from asker:
Thank you very much for the research - it was not the POC, however, that was stumping my brain: it was too obviously the Verbindlichkeiten. Too much audit report terminology!
