clarification I translated this a while ago as best I could; this term is exactly what was found in the source text. So how would you translate those two words?

Are you looking for a traslation for the term 'Vastattavaa' also? The balance sheet accounts are divided into two groups 'vastatavaa' and 'vastaavaa' in Finnish, but there is no sigle term in English for 'vastattavaa'.

balance sheet groups / Liabilities and/or SE

In the Finnish accounting system the balance sheet group 'vastattavaa' includes both Liabilities and Shareholders' Equity, so if the co-text doesn't include further specification of which group the account in question belongs to, I'd elaborate in this point and write down them both. But if a specific account is named, I'd use whichever group it belongs to f.ex. "The account Notes Payable is recorded in the balance sheet group Liabilities."
