Centro de Resultado

Hello
This term appears in a pay-stub from Brazil twice. Once as is and once as C.R.
Under both there is the acronym: PICBZ
Any suggestions?
Thank you

Mario Freitas Apr 16, 2017:
Range of possibilities This is not a regular/common term in business in Pt-Br. As you are all aware, PT speakers love to invent and ornament, which makes translation quite a bit harder in cases like this.
The term could very well refer to a Business Unit, as suggested by Ana. But you must find out if these "Centros de Resultado" are actually located in different addresses or if they are all internal units within the same headquartrers. In this last case, the translation would be something else.

Business Unit

Sugestão.

"Um centro de resultados ou unidade de negócio que absorva os resultados
financeiros que permeiam todas as atividades é imprescindível para o complemento adequado e correto gerenciamento das atividades empresariais. "

"É nesta lacuna que surgem os centros de resultados, que segundo o Professor Sérgio Iudícibus, “tratam-se de segmentos da empresa que são responsáveis não apenas por custos, mas também por receitas e portanto, por resultados”."

Obrigada, Gilmar!
disagree Mason Hiatt : By looking up profit center vs cost center, you can see this is an accounting concept. Business Unit and Profit Center are not synonyms, they're separate concepts.

Profit Center

A resposta da Ana me deixou curioso se existeria termos correlatos no inglês, na área de contabilidade. Centro de custo/centro de resultado = cost center/ ? Ana, otimo artigo da ecrconsultoria, por sinal!
Example sentence:

The concept of profit centers enables a company's executives and management to determine how best to focus its resources to maximize profitability.

Peer comment(s):

agree Andy Barton : Cost Centre (as we used to say in good old public service)
