English translation:final breakdown / general settlement of accounts
Explanation:
Like BD Finch said, you have two separate terms here. I have a somewhat different suggestion:

Decompte final: final breakdown (see IATE and the following two sites (bilingual) http://www.advisers-partners.com/FR/conseils-revenus.asp
http://www.advisers-partners.com/EN/conseils-revenus.asp

Décompte général: general settlement of accounts, general statement of accounts, general accounting (I think I prefer the first in this case)

Also Terminum

Explanation:
Décompte final = final account
décompte antérieur = previous valuation
Décompte général = general account

You cannot just translate the word "décompte" in isolation from its qualifier.
