 NOTE! Intra-governmental accounts must be used when the supplier is a governmental authority.

Why is there an accounting distinction between governmental and non-governmental suppliers?

In the accounting codes, where there is a distinction between governmental (4811 and 4861) and non-governmental accounting codes, it is important that the right code be used. All governmental authorities are included in the Swedish government’s accounting. The university reports monthly to the Swedish national governmental accounting system. When preparing financial statements, intergovernmental transactions must be eliminated. Therefore, we distinguish between governmental and non-governmental suppliers. External suppliers include companies, municipalities, and county councils.
