ordinal

French to English Other Finance (general) Reporting
Does anyone know what "ordinal" might mean in the following context?

"vos obligations déclaratives en matière sociale, fiscale, et ordinale et des règlements financiers qui en résultent, "

Many thanks in advance for you help!

PS: The source text is Belgian French from what I can gather...

Hi Sinead, welcome.

This is more an educated guess after a bit of research than anything else.

There are some Belgium specialists who post here and they might be able to help you more than I can.

Note from asker:
Many thanks for your feedback Conor! In the meantime, the customer has come back to confirm that "ordinal" actually relates to "ordre des experts-comptables” (referred to earlier in the doc), so I guess you were pretty much there! Many thanks again ;-)
