English term or phrase: "The register"
Dioes "register" here refer to someting more specific then the Swedish "registret"?

Context: "In the register of Gifts, Entertainment and Third party expenses, it should be recorded that the value us an estimate."

Swedish translation:registret
Explanation:
There should be a reference earlier in the text to a register being kept over these items. Don't think it's anything more official than a register kept by the company/organisation where you have to file reports of gifts you've received or given.

"the register"
förteckningen


Explanation:
Perhaps a matter of taste, but I prefer "förteckning" in this bookkeeping context, as in e.g. "förteckning över skulder och tillgångar...", "härmed bestyrkes att förteckningen endast upptar uppgifter..." (I would use "register" in the context of providing details on objects within the same category, as in "företagsregister.")
