Portuguese term

aplicações efectuadas

Portuguese to English Bus/Financial Accounting cash flow statement
Hi this is a heading ('rúbrica') on a cash flow statement for a non-profit organisation. It comes under Despesas and is broken down into categories such as 'human resources' 'infrastructure' 'indirect costs' 'monitoring and evaluation etc'. I am assuming it is basically use or applications of funds (as in sources and applications of funds) but would appreciate confirmation of the best term to use in this context.

There are various examples of the use of the term, including the sentence below:

Aplicações efectuadas
Na rubrica das Aplicações efetuadas foram incorridos os seguintes gastos

it is also listed directly as follows on the summary of receipts/expenditure:

Despesas
Aplicações efectuadas (sum)

many thanks

Hi Tobias, the list is as above, ie expenditure such as "human resources", "infrastructure" etc.
T o b i a s Sep 12, 2013:
The column 'aplicações efectuadas' has a list of what?
Lucy Phillips (asker) Sep 12, 2013:
just for additional context - I don't think it makes any difference to the question, the doc in question is from Angola.

Aplication(s) of Funds

I would translate it as "application of funds" as in "source and application of funds", according to the definition below.

source and application of funds
noun [U] ACCOUNTING

Definition
› a company's financial statement with details of where money has come from and how it has been spent during a particular period:
A source and application of funds statement is usually produced to show the various sources of funds received during the period in question and how those funds have been spent.
