It just got easier to look up accounting terminology. So if you are wondering what organic growth means in an accounting context or how best to translate revenue into Danish, you will find the answers in the Accounting Dictionaries (Regnskabsordbøgerne) that CBS Library just procured.
The dictionaries provide definitions and translations of Danish and English accounting, auditing, and financial management terminology, and each of them comprises more than 6.000 words and 25.000 collocations and examples.
You have the choice of four dictionaries:
Regnskab Dansk (Accounting Danish)
Regnskab Dansk-Engelsk (Accounting Danish-English)
Regnskab Engelsk (Accounting English)
Regnskab Engelsk- Dansk (Accounting English-Danish)
Ordbogen.com, which provides the service, has a whole range of other dictionaries. However, CBS students and staff have access to the Accounting Dictionaries only.
If you need other dictionaries, please use Gyldendals Ordbøger instead.
Easy access
Download the Accounting Dictionaries for smartphone, tablet or laptop/desktop to keep them handy. Simply Follow the instructions and select "Enkeltbruger" (single user when prompted).
