French term

VIE (abbreviation)

French to English Bus/Financial Business/Commerce (general) employment
Depuis avril 2008, l’équipe ORM (risque opérationnel) de Londres se réduit à une VIE.
This appears in the results of an internal audit - I assume it is something along the lines of ETP, but can't seem to think what it might stand for...

Adam Warren Jun 1, 2009:
Agree with jaynedmoore about VIE. ORM: ORM is probably "Operating Risk Management", or substitute the ugly and wordy "Operational" for "Operating" - it's a buzzword :-(
Ethele Salem Sperling May 31, 2009:
Could it be: " entité à détenteurs de droits variables" (Jargon en compta? <br> REF: Granddictionnaire for VIE (ENG>FR)?
polyglot45 May 31, 2009:
since ORM is surely English then how does one know that VIE isn't? ASK the client
jaynedmoore May 31, 2009:
If it is VIE you could leave it as it is then add in brackets 'overseas secondment'
Penny Hewson (X) May 31, 2009:
suggestion Could it be "volontariat international en entreprise"?
