English term or phrase: account
A:
"B - your unit used Opla last year.
They were great and certainly knew how to get things done, but you had to terminate the relationship..."
B:
"Yes, they could get stuff done and we had no evidence of wrongdoing, but we had to stop because they couldn't provide evidence for some expenses - you know how overzealous Accounts are."
In the last sentence of the above conversation between A and B, what does "Accounts" mean?
Thank you.
