en styrelse

Styrelse (Swedish)

Definition:
"Styrelse" refers to a board of directors or a committee that is responsible for the governance and strategic management of an organization, company, association, or institution. The styrelse typically makes major decisions, oversees company policy, and ensures that the organization meets its goals and complies with laws.

Context:

• Commonly used in business settings, nonprofit organizations, and clubs.
• Members of a styrelse are often elected or appointed.
• Can be translated to English as board, board of directors, or governing body.

Related words:

• Ledning — means "management" or "leadership," usually refers to the executive team rather than a governance board. While ledning executes day-to-day operations, styrelse oversees and directs the leadership.
• Revisionsberättelse — "audit report," a document the styrelse may use to assess financial responsibility.

Summary:
A "styrelse" is the decision-making and supervisory body of an organization, distinct from regular management or operational leaders.
