default interest
Ariel / Diccionario de Términos Jurídicos:
"intereses de mora, punitivos or de demora": default interest, penal interest, interest for delayed payment
Note: "punitive damages" (from the same source) = "daños punitivos", "daños ejemplares"
Punitive damages is a legal term, referring to one of the types of damages the court may award in a judgment. Since your text is accounting, I assume it refers to default interest.
