kolokoy Would you please tell me what kind of insurance the company has been paying under this policy? OK grammatically, but it sounds like you don't truly mean "kind of policy", but the amount of the premiums paid, because "to pay a kind of insurance" doesn't really make sense. kolokoy I am trying to clean up the book for 2013.

Yes I meant the accounts, so the correct word is "books"?
Thank you CalifJim

Yes. In the field of accounting, sometimes the accounts are called "the books".
Strangely, though, a single account is not called "a book".
