When the past events of the episode or series are revisited via a looking over of damages and expenses. In short, a common Framing Device for a Clip Show. Often played for laughs.
Compare Captain's Log, which revisits events through a more general report. Sub-Trope of Framing Device (a story within another story). Sister Trope of How We Got Here (the story stops and retells the events prior leading up to that point).

Transformers: Rescue Bots:
In two-parters, Huxley Prescott often recaps the events of part one as part of his news show.
In "The More Things Stay the Same", Quickshadow recaps the events of "The More Things Change..." in the context of it being a report to Optimus.
In "Today and Forever", Frankie convinces Cody to document the situation due to the absurdity of it. To recap, Griffin Rock was teleported to the North Pole after a large active teleportation crystal accidentally was dropped onto the island's underground Reactaline veins.

Angel:
"Bachelor Party": Doyle asks Angel to snoop around his ex-wife's new fiancée, leading to an awkward scene where Angel spots the beau with a knife and tackles him through a plate-glass window. The next day, Angel grouses that Richard belongs to a family of harmless restauranteurs "with some pretty expensive windows."
"Time Bomb": The episode has a suit, Marcus Hamilton, reading off a list of damages caused by Angel's flunky during a rescue mission.

The Avengers: The story "Lo! And There Shall Come an Accounting!" was about this. In the end, the money counters let the superheroes off the hook. Who's going to rag on Captain America for saving them?

The Kingkiller Chronicle: For the first two books, it's unknown how Kvothe became a Broken Ace and a Failure Hero as both The Name of the Wind and The Wise Man's Fear center around how he became the stuff of legends in the first place. As a result, all clues to his fall from grace are hidden in the mess his life is now—he's a recluse barkeep in the middle of nowhere (the shame he feels at having failed his goal is unbearable) who cannot perform Sympathy magic anymore (so the event probably crushed his will) and has taken a Fae as his apprentice of sorts (so he's returned to the land of the fae at least a second time).

Bounty Hamster: In "The Trial", the final episode to be produced, Marion has to face a licensing tribunal when he's accused of conduct unbecoming his bounty hunter license. Cue Clip Show. (In the end, the tribunal does strip him of his license — and awards one to Cassie, having concluded that she's done more to earn one over the course of the series than Marion has.)

Malcolm in the Middle: One episode used the parents going over their finances and strange expenditures to frame a clip show. For instance, "When did we spend so much on sequins?" transitioned to Bryan Cranston's roller dancing scene.

La oreja de Van Gogh: The lyrics of "Pop" recounts the chaotic, shallow life of a soulless Queen of Pop by describing all that she leaves behind —bills, alcohol, and tons of money. The song also explains how she became such a sensation —she has pretty hands, speaks French, is talented (she sings, acts, and paints), and has culture.

JAG: In "Soul Searching", Harm and Bud go over the budget request for the office in which it appears that Harm's firing of an H&K in the courtroom (two seasons earlier in "Heroes") has caused structural damage to the roof. Through clever lawyering, Bud makes the outstanding expense go away under a building health plan.

Heechee Saga by Frederik Pohl: In the "present", the hero is obscenely wealthy, plagued by guilt, and going through therapy with a computer-generated psychologist. Most of the actual plot of the book is in his explanations to the computer of where the wealth (and guilt) came from.
