Bus/Financial - Accounting / Assets/ Depuración de Activos
Spanish term or phrase: depuración de activos
Hola,
Me gustaría saber cuál sería la traducción más apropiada para "depuración" en este contexto:

Crear una comisión con el área de Finanzas y la Administración para la depuración de activos.
Documentar la donación y/ o venta de activos

Dos opciones que se me ocurren son:

i. Elimination of assets
ii. Disposal of assets

Sin embargo, no estoy muy seguro de ambas opciones.

disposal of assets


Explanation:
The disposal of assets involves eliminating assets from the accounting records. This is needed to completely remove all traces of an asset from the balance sheet (known as derecognition). An asset disposal may require the recording of a gain or loss on the transaction in the reporting period when the disposal occurs.
