Spanish term

a cuatro dígitos

Spanish to English Bus/Financial Accounting
This is from a spreadsheet listing documents requested by the auditing department in order to carry out their audit. I may be overthinking this one, but I wanted to make sure I wasn´t missing a specific accounting term here.

The full line of text is "Sumas y saldos a cuatro dígitos a 31 de mayo de 2009"

Is this as simple as "Four-digit sums and balances as of May 31, 2009"? I just don´t want to miss something if there is a specific accounting term.

Thanks in advance for your help.

No, unfortunately. These spreadsheets with lack of context are driving me crazy! :)

It is Maths. 1300 to four significant digits is written as 1.3×10 to the 3rd power

neutral philgoddard : But if it was (say) 25,000, that would be five digits.

Yes, that is why I have not used the word "digit" in my translation.
