My comment:

- balance carrée : contrôle d'une série d'opérations en s'assurant qu'un même résultat (en général un total) est bien obtenu par deux méthodes différentes ; cette opération était fréquemment pratiquée au temps où les additions se faisaient manuellement, et où l'on les vérifiait en additionnant un tableau tantôt par lignes, tantôt par colonnes). Synonyme : contrôle carré.

I didn't know this term before you asked, but the variety of the previous answers given made me do some research.

The asker's comment:

Thanks so much for the work you put into researching this term. After the first three responses, I was starting to feel that people were just guessing, but you've provided lots of supporting information. I'm adding the dictionary you used to my favourites.
