cauzioni per beni da rendere

Explanation:
Dal contesto non saprei dire se si tratta di una voce di passivo o di attivo, ovvero rispettivamente, di cauzioni incassate per beni/merci/vuoti (voce di passino, si tratta di un debito) o altro, oppure cauzioni pagate a un fornitore per ottenere tali beni/merci/vuoti (voce di attivo, perché si tratta di un credito)

In ogni caso, "cauzioni per beni da rendere" è una soluzione neutrale

ciao
Gianfranco

In altre situazioni ho visto le cauzioni indicate come "cauzioni attive" (pagate a fornitori) e "cauzioni passive" (incassate da clienti)
Nel tuo caso, si parla di "cauzioni per resi" ma non spiega la direzione del reso nè la natura patrimoniale delle cauzioni.
Il contesto lo rendera' probabilmenteh chiaro a chi legge l'intero documento.

Asker: finalmente sono riuscita a parlare con qualcuno della Shell, che mi ha detto che effettivamente si tratta di cauzioni per resi. Mi spiace per il ritardo, ma non ero convinta di questa traduzione, e mi sbagliavo. A quanto parte il sistema automatico ha comunque già assegnato i punti alla risposta giusta. Grazie

Asker: sono passività. la ragione per cui mi e' venuto il dubbio che non siano beni da restituire, è, per esempio, questo link:www.phil.frb.org/fs/zfs2/pdfs/regccindorse.pdf

Asker: oppure questo:www.frbservices.org/Retail/ pdf/ReturnCollectionProduct.pdf

5 hrs confidence:

deposits for return items depositi a copertura dell'eventuale escussione dei pagamenti, rilasciate da Federal Reserve Bank

Explanation:

"Return items" relate to the cheques that Shell obtained to pay for purchases that then "bounced" (i.e. had insufficient funds to cover them), that they then gave to the Federal Reserve Bank to leave it up to the Fed to enforce payment. Shell however has to make deposits to cover these return items in case the Fed never manages to get Shell's money back. Therefore, the deposts for these letters/items must be booked to long-term liabilities.

Nel bilancio di Italmobiliare, there is similar item under "garazie e impegni" called "depositi a copertura dell'eventuale escussione delle garanzie rilasciate da Finter Bank Zurigo". This is perhaps similar, and maybe you can modify it to the suggestion above to reflect the payment that may or may not be enforced by the Fed.

I looked at the financial statements of Eni and Unicredito, and there was nothing similar in the Notes under long-term liabilities. So I think that either there is nothing of the kind in Italy, or else it is not specifically classified.

I'm asking some experts to check on that, let me get back to you.

Sorry, typo: "dalla" FRB (la famosa "Fed").

One expert (my boyfriend) said that it's impossible that Shell deals with the Fed, because only banks deal with the Fed. In that case, that line should read "deposits for returnED items", and in that case Gianfranco's entry is correct. A simple typo threw us drastically off the trail, as is sometimes the case! :)))

However, my boyfriend is not a Shell analyst. It could be that Shell is a big enough company that it has certain privileges, including the use of return items through the Fed. This is possible, but not likely. I'm going to ask a Shell analyst on Monday to check this.

For now, I would recommend using Gianfranco's entry, as it is the most likely.

Asker: thank you, I am looking forward to hearing the answer from the experts you know. I posted this question because I suspected it had not to do with "resi"
