Danish term or phrase: MAR
I have a translation of a chart of accounts of a Danish company into English. There is an abbreviation "MAR" in the position "MAR - pensions adjustments"

Is its some Danish institution? Can you explain the abbreviation in English?

Passer det ind i sammenhængen - se linket. Ellers er mar jo typisk forkortelsen for marts.

MAR could be employee representative (medarbejderrepræsentant). By law the Board of Directors of a limited company must also include one or more representatives elected by and among the employees. But how this links up with pensions - I have no idea. MAR could also be the abbreviated of MARTS - the month of March? Otherwise - ask you customer. And just wondering - how can you translate for a Danish company if you don't know Danish?
