Here's an audio file. In number three (1:25) a woman seems to be speaking to her secretary. From what I understand she says:
Also could you bring the file on the Rx accounts?
According to Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary:
- on: about, e.g. a book on South Africa
- Rx: the written abbreviation for a doctor’s prescription
- account: a written record of money that is owed to a business and of money that has been paid by it, e.g. to keep the accounts up to date
The meaning of each word seems to be clear. However, I don't understand the meaning of the whole phrase.
P.S. Just a guess: can RX be a proper noun in this context?

I also hear "Also could you bring the file on the Rx accounts?" and the information you have provided is accurate.
The speaker is making a request. She is asking the secretary for the file "on Rx accounts". I also hear "Rx", but I am not convinced that this is correct. It might be some kind of special business lingo, a surname or a fake company name like "Arix Company".
Anyway, the file on X accounts means the file regarding/about X or the file that contains the transactions with X. In X accounts, X is a noun that modifies accounts. So, the file on Rx accounts likely means the file with the transactions regarding prescriptions. Maybe the speaker runs a pharmaceutical company, for example. If we pretend it's a company name or surname "Arix", then Arix accounts would be accounts regarding the transactions the speaker makes with Mr./Mrs. Arix (or the Arix Company). Think of "Smith" if "Arix" doesn't make sense.
