French term

Toute la comptabilité impliquant X doit etre faite sur une base principale

French to English Bus/Financial Accounting insurance company under administration
This is from a letter from the court-appointed administrators sent to all policyholders, brokers, agents, etc. This paragraph concerns brokers and agents in particular; ;
A compter de la date de notre nomination en tant qu'administrateurs, toute autoritlé pour les courtiers, intermédiaires, agents et mandataires de comptabilisation sur une base nette avec X est retirée. Toute la comptabilité impliquant X doit être faite sur une base principale. Il ne devrait avoir aucune compensation des sommes de toute nature collectées au nom de X sur les paiements dus par X à tout autre titulaire de police ou à tout autre créancier de toute nature avec lesquels les courtiers, intermédiaires, agents et mandataires font des affaires (....)

"X" is the insurance company under administration

All I can come up with is:
"All recognition in accounts involving X must now be on a principal basis i.e. recognition of gross amounts" I would be grateful to know what others think.

zac, Thank you, but as I cannot support what is, after all, but an educated guess with reliable examples, I won't enter any answer. Feel free, however, to make a glossary entry. Is it possible to contact the author of the text and let us know? That would be ideal.

@ Asker:

This is what the issue is all about:

Principal basis Definition

The sale of securities through a dealer or group of dealers who buy and sell the securities at least initially for their own portfolios, assuming the market risk of holding the securities, and then selling the securities from their own inventory to their customers at a markup. See agency basis.

Thanks to all who replied but in particular to ph-b France. His discussion entry confirmed what I thought bur hesitated to put. I would like to give him the points but he needs to transfer the discussion entry into an answer.
ph-b (X) Feb 23, 2020:
gross amounts I agree. The liquidators need to assess the company's assets, which include gross written premiums (any amount described in your text as owed by the company will be listed as a liability).
I understand base principale as the opposite of base nette earlier on, the latter meaning net of brokerage fees, agents' commissions, etc. and any other premium-related amount owed by the company (as defined in your text).
