أرصدة حسابات المتوفين
A disturbingly large number in this category (أرصدة حسابات المتوفين
) in the accounting. A disturbingly large number for the Iraqi branches.

أرصدة حسابات المتوفين
Meaning?
BTW, I note with some amusement that my arrow keys work backwards when the cursor is within Arabic text. I know that Arabic reads right to left but it's interesting, nonetheless that Windows turns the right arrow key into the left arrow key. I can't decide whether this is culturally sensitive or insulting. Maybe the keys are reversed yet again if you're viewing Arabic text on a machine that's been localized for MENA.

Arabic reads right to left, it appears on your screen and bloody Lo, right key turns into left key as the software was so programmed. This is rather interesting and it cannot be decided whether this is a snub or a nod to the pc(no pun). Jesus will wonders never bleeding cease??

It means the account details of those deceased, if my laptop is reading it correctly.

Balances.

That's the bastard.

Me?
Regardless, the numbers on "balances, deceased accounts" are disturbing.
As to the direction of pointers, one of the never failing points of irritation for me with respect to the way Windows handles such things.

No I meant the word 'balances', trans skills bit traumatised after translating a book on the history of Islamic constitutions.
Re pointers, am sure they are not high on your list of reasons Bill Gates needs to die.
