REHAM HUSSIEN Aug 12, 2011:
Dear Mr. Bouitieh, I am sure it is "Subsidiary ledger". I just consulted an accountant working in the field.
A Nabil Bouitieh (asker) Aug 12, 2011:
Dear Translatall, I'm thinking of "Subsidiary Account", I'd appreciate Reham's input, as the document is from Egypt, if this commenly used.
Translatall Aug 12, 2011:
What about Assistant accountant?
REHAM HUSSIEN Aug 12, 2011:
Dear Mr. Kakei, I think there is a misunderstanding in the Arabic text as it should be "دفتر أستاذ مساعد".
وبذلك يستقيم النص العربي وتستقيم معه الترجمة حيث أنه لا يوجد في النص المقدم ما يشير الى الوظائف الجامعية ولكن النص يأتي في سياق مصرفي لذا قمت بالترجمة على هذا الأساس.
Saed Kakei, (PhD Student) Aug 12, 2011:
Dear Ms. Hussien, a "bank statement" is a noun for a periodic or monthly statement prepared by a bank for each client. That said, Mr. Bouitieh has posted his question as: "Next to that is a number!! It is a bank statement from Finacle (Alexandria branch)." My assumption is that the Arabic noun "أستاذ مساعد" is positioned prior to question (i.e. before "Next to that is a number!!"). Also, throughout my 25 years of living in Canada, I've never read or heard of a "Bank Statement" to mean أستاذ مساعد
REHAM HUSSIEN Aug 12, 2011:
Mr. Kakei, it is a "bank statement" as indicated in the question, so it could not be a university position.
Saed Kakei, (PhD Student) Aug 12, 2011:
السید نبیل والسیدة رهام، طابت أوقاتکم.. أما بعد؛
أستاذ مساعد درجة تدریسیة لأساتذة الکلیات و الجامعات
REHAM HUSSIEN Aug 12, 2011:
في علم البنوك يوجد ما يُسمى بدفتر الأستاذ وهو بالإنجليزية "ledger" ويوجد في الأسيوطي كلمة "دفتر أستاذ عام في صفحة 365 وترجمتها "General ledger" وكلمة دفتر أستاذ مساعد في صفحة 606 وترجمتها "Subsidiary ledger"
أرجو أن تكون تلك الإجابة وافية.
A Nabil Bouitieh (asker) Aug 11, 2011:
Dear Reham, I'm very grateful for your help, but still not sure if this applies to a bank statement, as it also says تاريخ الأستاذ العام؟
Morano El-Kholy Aug 11, 2011:
Dear brother...I wish I could help you..
I hope that our colleagues can be of greater help.
A Nabil Bouitieh (asker) Aug 11, 2011:
Dear Morano, thanks for your prompt reply, but next to that is a number, which I'm asking for. Any suggestions?

ماعدا في السعودیة، لم أسمع قطعا بأسم "أستاذ مشارك" کدرجة تدریسیة
disagree gsaboft : While أستاذ مساعد can be translated as both "assistant professor" and "adjunt professor", depending on the school nomenclature, I have never ever seen it used as the equivalent of "associate professor".

Well, it is not late to learn the fact that an Associate professor who ranks above an assistant professor and below a professor. A simple look at a respectable dictionary will show you this fact.

استاذ مساع/ Subsidiary ledger

A subsidiary ledger, also called a subledger or subaccount, breaks out a single general ledger account into subgroups that share common information. Individual transactions are posted to the general ledger account, called the controlling account, and to the appropriate subsidiary ledger. In accounting software, you only have to make the entry in the subaccount and the software automatically makes the corresponding entry in the controlling account. When preparing the Trial Balance the subsidiary ledger is totalled and compared to the controlling account to verify they are in agreement.

One of the links below illustrates the role of a subsidiary ledger.

Again, good job Reham!!!
