Coronar un puerto : Este término proviene de la antigua tradición griega en la que al ganador de una prueba de las antiguas olimpiadas se le obsequiaba con una corona de laurel como señal de reconocimiento de su gesta. Pues bien, como en ciclismo la prueba más dura y exigente ha sido siempre subir un puerto, cuando una persona consigue llegar a la cima, sin importar la posición en la que haya pasado, se dice que ha coronado el puerto, para hacer referencia a la proeza realizada. 2, record 2, Spanish, - coronar%20un%20puerto

The present classification policy requires the departmental classification of financial transactions in terms of authority, purpose, responsibility and object. Where the expenditure or revenue transactions relate to a process producing more than one output in two or more activities, an allocation method is required to assign these expenditures or revenues to the appropriate activities. While it is preferable that this be done on a transaction-by-transaction basis, in those operations where departments use a cost accounting or other system to undertake the required allocations, the costs of maintaining a transaction-based allocation system may outweigh the benefits. 2, record 3, English, - outweigh

Conformément à la politique en vigueur, les ministères doivent classifier les opérations financières par autorisation, par objet, par responsabilité et par article. Lorsque les opérations de dépenses ou de recettes entraînent plus d'un extrant dans deux activités ou plus, il faut adopter une méthode de répartition permettant de les rattacher à des activités précises. Bien qu'il soit préférable de procéder ainsi pour chaque opération, les ministères qui se servent d'un système de comptabilité analytique ou d'un autre type de système pour effectuer la répartition nécessaire constatent bien souvent que les coûts d'un système de répartition axé sur les opérations l'emportent sur les avantages. 2, record 3, French, - l%27emporter%20sur
