表外项目的中文解释
"帐外"是指不会出现在资产负债表上,比如以营业租赁(operating lease)的方式长期租用重要的设备,虽然形同拥有该资产,但公司的资产负债表上却不会记录该项资产,这就是一种帐外活动。公司进行帐外融资(off-balance-sheet financing),是指以某种方式取得融资,但资产负债表上却不会出现相关的债务(或者是相关债务不会主即全部反映在资产负债表上)。多数金融衍生工具对参与其中的公司来说都是帐外项目。就银行而言,收费服务费--而不是以贷款为本的利息收入--的活动,也会产生帐外项目,如发出信用证。
Off Balance Sheet的英文解释
An
obligation entered into by a company that does not have to be shown on the balance sheet, such as leases and
project finance. With banks, where the money earned is fee-based, examples include trading of swaps, options and letters of credit.
