I believe the answer is:
credits
<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">ascribes</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(crediting is a kind of ascribing)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for credits that I've seen before include "Entries on the payments received side of accounts" , "moneys paid in" , "Film's final sequence" , "Attributes or renders due acknowledgment" , "Last items of a film" .)
