Spanish term

existan las disponibilidades correspondientes

Spanish to English Bus/Financial Finance (general) Finance Policies, Procedu
Hola,

El texto a continuación es parte del mismo manual de procedimientos financieros en el que he estado trabajando en los últimos días.

Control Previo al Compromiso

El empleado de la Organización designado para decidir sobre la realización de un gasto y aquellos que conceden la autorización respectiva, verificarán previamente que:

1. La transacción corresponda al giro o actividad de la Organización y conforme el presupuesto anual, planes y programas;
2. El procedimiento propuesto para su ejecución sea el apropiado;
3. La Organización está facultada para llevarla a cabo y no existan impedimentos legales sobre la misma;
4. En el presupuesto **existan las disponibilidades correspondientes** previamente establecidas.

Considerando que se trata de presupuesto, asumo que con "disponibilidades" se refieren fondos disponibles, o no?

@Robert I just thought it was essentially the same as your suggestion. But YOLO!
Robert Carter Sep 11, 2020:
That's a good translation, Joshua, why don't you post it as an answer?
Joshua Parker Sep 11, 2020:
For future reference, "disponibilidades" in accounting/finance, on a balance sheet = cash and cash equivalents.
But here unless this is a clear reference to a balance sheet, I think you're right and it just means "fondos disponibles" - you could just say something like "enough funding has been allocated in the budget", or go with Robert's suggestion.
Robert Carter Sep 11, 2020:
Yes, I think that's the idea, Manuel, or "the organization has already budgeted for those expenses".
Manuel Aburto (asker) Sep 10, 2020:
There are available funds previously established in the budget?

there are corresponding enabling provisions (funds availability etc.)

"Disponibilidad" nearly always means "provisions", i.e. terms, in a contract, statute, or other governing document.
I am not re-writing the Author here, because my answer is the standard idiomatic expression in English.
I have emphasized that "provisions" goes beyond funds, but may include various prescriptions, such as a limit on the aggregate amount, the requirement that a certain Officer provide written approval for amounts over a certain number of pesos, etc.etc.

Another example of a "disponibilidad" (provision): The budget does not allow for expenses related to lobbying in Country X.

there are corresponding availabilities

Entiendo que las disponibilidades quizás pueden tratarse de fondos disponibles pero no es por seguro. Menciona primero que el empleado es designado para trabajar sobre gastos.

Availability is obtainable and accessible.
