This is an item that appears under "revenue" in an Austrian income statement. Could this be "recharged accruals"? Does that even make sense in this context? Grateful for any help!

4 -1 offset accruals

Sorry for taking such a long time to comment on your answers to my query. Thank you to each of you for taking the time and trouble to respond and for your helpful comments

recharged Yes, "recharged" is the term commonly used especially in the UK. The question of whether these are "accruals" will also depend on whether this is an Austrian GAAP or an IFRS income statement (I suspect the former, because this wouldn't generally be presented separately under IFRSs). I hesitate to agree 100% with "accruals" here, because as a rule, only cash expenditures are recharged, not non-cash expenses (such as accruals or provisions). But only a closer examination of the context could produce a satisfactory answer.

offset accruals

offsetting is the conversion of an expense to a liability in double entry bookkeeping which is how it then appears on the balance sheet; hence the offset to revenue accrued is an accrued asset account; income is therefore converted to an asset; that is the meaning of ' weiterverrechnet' here.

And yes, weiterverrechnen is recharge or charge out, perhaps to other companies in the group.
