Kif Örebro manipulated accounting to pass elite license

The former Swedish women's club Kif Örebro manipulated its accounting to retain its elite license, reports P4 Örebro. According to the radio station, this was done with the help of the municipality.

The club got the municipality to cancel invoices of just over 300,000 SEK.

This accounting has probably not been done correctly, Henrik Jordahl, professor of economics, said on the radio.

According to Eleonor Kristoffersson, professor of law, it could be an accounting violation.

If it turns out to be a criminal act, the heaviest responsibility, as I see it, lies with the club.

When the Swedish Football Association approved Kif Örebro's finances, the invoices came back.

The municipality's financial director Johanna Larsson and municipal director Peter Larsson, both of whom were involved in the arrangement, declined to comment.

Kif Örebro's club manager Elin Stengarn:

"Just like all elite clubs, our club's financial statements must be reviewed and approved by a certified public accountant."
