hallintoseuraamuspäätökset

Hallintoseuraa is a Finnish term that translates to "administrative association" or "administrative company." It refers to a legal entity established in Finland to provide administrative services to other organizations, often public sector entities or associations. These services can include a wide range of functions such as accounting, payroll, human resources, IT support, legal services, and general administrative management. The primary purpose of a hallintoseuraa is to centralize and professionalize these support functions, thereby improving efficiency, reducing costs, and ensuring compliance with regulations.

Such entities are typically formed by a group of organizations that share common administrative needs. By pooling resources and expertise, these organizations can benefit from economies of scale. The structure of a hallintoseuraa can vary, but it often operates as a limited liability company (osakeyhtiö) or a cooperative (osuuskunta). The member organizations typically have ownership or membership in the hallintoseuraa, granting them influence over its operations and service provision. This model is particularly common in the municipal sector, where multiple municipalities might establish a shared administrative company to handle services like social welfare or healthcare administration. It can also be found among non-profit organizations or foundations that wish to streamline their back-office operations.
