Norwegian term

memorialbilag

Norwegian to English Bus/Financial Accounting
Used in a joint venture agreement. Apparently the last time this was widely used, Nansen was aboard "Fram". I already understand that "memorial" was previously used for a chronological record of accounting entries.

Ordnett is neither the Bible nor very precise. You may want to use "cash voucher" or something similar for "kassebilag".
Charles Ek (asker) Jan 25, 2017:
Thanks. But the next big challenge is that "kassebilag" is used a few lines below "memorialbilag" and the former is defined in Ordnett as "journal voucher" ...
Leif Henriksen Jan 25, 2017:
Still widely used .... This refers to an accounting item that is "internal", not resulting from a transaction. One example is posting of accrual, for which purpose you would take a piece of paper and write the accounting details along with the reason. This paper would then be the voucher for the accounting – the memorialbilag. I notice that this paper uses the term "journal voucher" for this, however I cannot say what the correct English term would be: http://hls.harvard.edu/content/uploads/2014/07/accounting_ac...
