virement noun A strictly regulated process of transferring items, especially public funds, from one financial account to another.

Hah... I've been mentally spelling it wrong all these years. I only ever hear the verb form because it comes up when I want to do something tricky with finance and the fiance whizz persons says "Sure, we can just vire that."
