Bus/Financial - Accounting
Spanish term or phrase: a cuatro dígitos
This is from a spreadsheet listing documents requested by the auditing department in order to carry out their audit. I may be overthinking this one, but I wanted to make sure I wasn´t missing a specific accounting term here.

The full line of text is "Sumas y saldos a cuatro dígitos a 31 de mayo de 2009"

Is this as simple as "Four-digit sums and balances as of May 31, 2009"? I just don´t want to miss something if there is a specific accounting term.

Thanks in advance for your help.
