Please could anyone help me with the acronym "RRA".

Column 1: Taches, Vérification des factures, Trie et apposition de la date de facture, Rapprochement des factures, Mise à jour / saisie des tarifs / saisie des voyages, Apposition du BAP, Transmission à la comptabilité centrale
Column 2: Exploitant
Column 3: Administratif agence

I have found out that DAF = Direction Administrative et Financière.

Many thanks.

Chris Hall (asker) Apr 7, 2010:
Correct Julie... It should be "Directeur Administratif et Financier".

I was incorrect when I said it was "Direction Administrative et Financière". Apologies for that.
Julie Barber Apr 7, 2010:
DAF again After looking at your list again - all job roles - is it more likely to be Directeur rather than Direction (which doesn't fit the style of the list)?
Julie Barber Apr 7, 2010:
DAF @ Chris, the DAF is not the manager, it's the department or sometimes the management of the department (if you see the difference).
@ Catherine - a group I work for has lots of DAFS/Corporate Services Departments and in this case, the head is always the Finance Director & Company Secretary. Director of Corporate Services seems fine to me though, what do you think?
Chris Hall (asker) Apr 7, 2010:
@ Julie and Catharine... Thus far, I have translated:

RRA = Regional Purchasing Manager
DAF = Administrative and Financial Manager

Can these translations be improved? Thanks.
Catharine Cellier-Smart Apr 7, 2010:
@julie so is the head of the department called the Corporate Services Manager or Director of Corporate Services or something along those lines ?
Julie Barber Apr 7, 2010:
DAF slighly off question...DAF can be translated as "Corporate Services Department" for the UK, rather than a more literal translation (I work in one, so I'm not making it up either...;-))
Hazel Underwood Apr 7, 2010:
What about "responsable régional adjoint", or "responsable régional + region", e.g. Aquitaine. Do you have any other context?
