Une section est dite homogène lorsque les coûts qui y sont engagés varient proportionnellement à l'unité d’œuvre qui la caractérise(par exemple les heures de main-d’œuvre). Selon le Plan comptable général français, la section est une subdivision ouverte à l'intérieur d’un centre de travail lorsque la précision recherchée dans le calcul des coûts de produits conduit à effectuer l'imputation des coûts d’un centre de travail au moyen de plusieurs unités d’œuvre(et non d’une seule). Une section ouverte en dehors des centres de travail avec pour seul objectif de faciliter des opérations de répartition, de cession entre centres d’analyse ou d’imputation est une section fictive ou section de calcul. Les sections sont couramment appelées homogènes du fait de l'homogénéité des charges qui les constituent par rapport au mode d’imputation choisi. 1, record 1, French, - section

L’obligation de prudence et de diligence compte parmi les obligations faites au professionnel comptable dans l’exécution de ses missions. Compte tenu de la probabilité et de la gravité des risques normalement prévisibles, le professionnel comptable doit prendre les mesures qu’il est raisonnable d’adopter dans les circonstances, à défaut de quoi il aura manqué à son obligation en faisant preuve de «négligence» ou d’«imprudence». 2, record 2, French, - obligation%20de%20prudence%20et%20de%20diligence

En France et en Belgique, l'ensemble des règles que doit observer le professionnel comptable dans ses missions d’établissement et de contrôle des comptes est connu sous le nom de «diligences normales».

The "Book Value Calculator" (hereafter referred to as the "BVC") was designed by the Appraisals Directorate at Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) to assist in determining the Gross Book Value (GBV) and Net Book Value (NBV) necessary for the opening balance statement for PWGSC [Public Works and Government Services Canada] and for other departments and agencies of the federal government. The "BVC" is essentially an "Access" database program that is designed to use readily available data to estimate the gross and net book values of land and buildings (or infrastructure); remaining life for amortization; and the effective year built (to support systems that must calculate NBV rather than accept it as an input item). 1, record 3, English, - Book%20Value%20Calculator

Au Canada, on distinguait jusqu’en 1996 le «timing difference», défini dans les normes canadiennes et alors appelé en français «écart temporaire» et le «temporary difference», défini dans les normes des États-Unis et alors appelé en français «écart temporel». Lorsque la notion de «temporary difference» a été adoptée au Canada et a évincé celle de «timing difference», on a conservé en français l’expression «écart temporaire» pour désigner le «temporary difference». On peut également distinguer l’ancienne notion de la nouvelle en opposant les expressions «écart temporaire-résultats» et «écart temporaire-bilan». 1, record 4, French, - %C3%A9cart%20temporaire
