ansvarigansvarig

Ansvarigansvarig is a term used in Swedish-language contexts to designate the person who both bears responsibility and is accountable for a specified area, task, or outcome. The term is not standard in Swedish dictionaries and is typically found in internal memos, project charters, and governance documents as a concise label for the single individual in charge.

In practice, responsibility (ansvar) and accountability are usually described with separate expressions. The compound ansvarigansvarig emphasizes that one person holds both roles—the ownership of the task and the obligation to report results to superiors or stakeholders. It is most commonly seen in contexts such as risk management, compliance, and project governance, but it is not universally used or formalized in all organizations.

Linguistic notes: the form is a neologism and may appear with different spellings or be avoided in formal writing. Standard Swedish would typically use phrases like 'den ansvariga' (the person in charge) or 'den som har ansvaret' for clarity. In English it corresponds to "the person responsible and accountable," but in Swedish, safer alternatives are often preferred in official documents.

Contexts and usage: possible settings include corporate governance, project management, safety oversight, regulatory reporting, and editorial processes where a single individual is designated to oversee work and be answerable for outcomes. Related terms include ansvarig, ansvarsfördelning (distribution of responsibility), och olika ledningsroller; the term ansvarigansvarig remains a niche or informal label rather than a standard job title.
