German term

Trennungsrechnung

German to English Bus/Financial Accounting COVID-19 Relief Act
Here is the context:

Die mit COVID-19 einhergehende Liquiditätslücke muss dabei nachweislich auf die aktuelle Krise zurückzuführen sein (bspw. durch Trennungsrechnungen).

Basically, companies need to prove that their financial troubles are a direct result of the coronavirus crisis, and one way to do so is to draw up separate accounts to show performance with and without the impact of the crisis. I know there is a word for this, but can't put my finger on it and the file is (like everything else these days!) extremely urgent.

Thanks in advance for help!

separate accounting

This is evidently a term primarily used in university accounting in Germany, meaning the separate accounting for sovereign activities (education and self-funded research) and economic activities (research conducted with third-party funds, services). This in turn is based on a European Commission Communication, which talks about accounting for the different activities separately.
In your context, I think "separate accounting" fits the bill.

itemized bill

Compare with this:
"Audited hospital bills at multiple facilities for third party payers; conducted line-by-line evaluation of itemized bills.." https://www.azahcccs.gov/PlansProviders/Downloads/RFPInfo/YH...

"The liquidity gap associated with COVID-19 must be shown to have been incurred by the current crisis (e.g. by providing itemized bills)."

differential accounting

Since businesses are involved (apparently not universities), the term would have to be an established one that reflects a purposeful comparative approach:

Peer comment(s):

disagree RobinB : But isn't "differential accounting" a management accounting concept used for project analysis, budgeting, etc.?

Have you already seen this in the glossary?

Note from asker:
Indeed I did... Neither of those terms (which are not sourced or particularly specific) were suitable.
Peer comments on this reference comment:

agree philgoddard : I think "separate accounting" works, as Jennifer herself suggests. All the hits I found for the German word relate to universities keeping separate accounts for commercial and non-commercial activities.
