évolutions des relevés de compte
French to English
Bus/Financial
Finance (general)
The software programme in question integrates a new technology which can cope with 'les **évolutions des relevés de compte** au format
français CFONB120' as well as 'évolutions des autres pays européens, par exemple le CODA2.1 en
Belgique'.
It's the 'evolutions' bit I'm having trouble with here. Does it refer to the development of bank account facilities/formats (if that's possible) or the transactions within the account? Please help!
TIA

changes in statement format
I think it means the former, especially given the continuation of the sentence. "Presentation" if you don't like "format".

Victoria, is this in the Sales Ledger? "Evolutions" I would suggest has an element of progress forward about it

Thank you Victoria...then, it can "cope" with updates in statement formats and I would go with Eutychus but in place of "changes", "updates"

Note from asker:
| Hi fourth. It's actually a press release about this new software solution, explaining that it can cope with these changes in bank statement format. Does that help? Thanks for your suggestion. |

alterations made to the format of bank statements
I go along with Eutychus on this one, this is definitely to do with changes in format rather than the bank balance history. Anyway, this is my take on it: I used alterations because it suggests improving.
Something went wrong...
