fordringer

Fordringer is the plural form of the Norwegian noun fordring. The term has several related meanings that vary by context. In legal and financial language it often denotes a claim or demand against someone, while in accounting it is used to describe amounts that are owed to a party.

In legal and financial contexts, a fordring is a creditor’s right to payment or performance that can be enforced in court. It appears in contracts, debt collection, and financial reporting. A common example is kundefordringer, which refers to receivables—money a business expects to receive from its customers.

In everyday use, fordringer can also mean requirements or conditions attached to a task, service, or program. This can include eligibility criteria, deadlines, or required deliverables set by an employer, a grant body, or a service provider. The term is therefore versatile and its precise meaning relies on the surrounding context.

Related terms include kundefordringer (receivables) and, more generally, concepts tied to demands or obligations in contracts and financial statements. Fordringer is used across business, law, and administration to describe what is owed or what is required under a given arrangement.
