English term or phrase: local stat BPO
Hi guys!
I'm translating an online course about the structure of the global chart of accounts and, appart from several typos in the source text, I've come across the word "stat", which I'm not sure if it means statistical or static in this sentence:

Alignment with global reporting and month-end cycle, coding consistency, transferable Finance skills, simplifies ***local stat BPO***

That sentence appears on a chart under "Benefits obtained from using XXXX accounting standard for primary postings", where XXXX is the name of a company.

Any idea of what "stat" may mean here?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Hi Melina,

Por el contexto diría que esta empresa está empresa está diciendo que si alinean los reportes globales y de fin de mes (entre otras cosas) ayudará a definir/entender las estadísticas locales (de país) en lo que se refiere al BPO.

Explanation:
I have 2 confidence levels in my answer for you - the high confidence answer is that it would be very strange to abbreviate ''static'', as it's not a long enough word that would necessitate abbreviation, nor is it used frequently enough to warrant doing so. But ''statistics'' on the other hand is frequently abbreviated.

However, ''stat'' is a strange way to abbreviate statistics when you are talking about statistics in the plural. ''Stats'' with an s at the end would be the ''normal'' abbreviation for ''statistics''. But again, it's even stranger to abbreviate static.

My medium confidence answer for you is since BPO most likely stands for ''business process outsourcing'', then statistics would be a much more likely term to use with BPO than static.

However, the word static can be used as well in a BPO context - for example you can say something like ''BPO initiatives can not be static''. But for your specific phrase - ''local stat BPO'' - for that to be ''local static BPO'' would be a very strange way of saying something related to the topic. Additionally, ''local statistics BPO'' does not sound as strange as ''local static BPO''. Also, online I was only able to find one instance where BPO and ''static'' was used in a sentence together, which I cited here in web references.

In a nutshell, I would bet that statistic is the more likely of the two, because both my high confidence answer and medium confidence answer still lead to the same conclusion.


Example sentence(s):
  • BPO stats are not available yet from 2016.
  • BPO initiatives can not be static.
