Finance Department

The Finance Department consists of four units and a staff and is responsible for shaping the authority's operations in the field of finance. This means that the department is responsible for the authority's financial management, accounting, payments, and reimbursements, and has coordination responsibility for work against incorrect payments, subsidy fraud, and fraud.

Mission of the Financial Management Unit

The Financial Management Unit has an overarching responsibility to provide competent support in financial management issues to the Swedish Public Employment Service's budget-responsible managers and to the agency's management.
