Also means
carryover (accounting)
Usage Note
Report in French primarily means a deferral or postponement of a meeting, deadline, or event. In accounting, it refers to an amount carried forward (report à nouveau). It is NOT a false friend for English 'report' — for that, use rapport or compte rendu.
