Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional from 'valuation' (estimating the value of something) + 'account' (a financial record): it denotes an account used for valuation or valuation adjustments. This noun–noun construction follows a straightforward, cross-linguistically common pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents should be able to infer the meaning.
Etymology
Valuation account joins valuation (checking how much something is worth) and account (a separate record or pot of money). Companies keep a valuation account to set aside money or record changes when an asset's value goes up or down, so it means 'an account for changes in asset value'.
