Mats, you are so gracious. Could you leave it there? If you don't mind. It did help me to clarify the term itself by seeing the term "reports" and it will then be available in the open glossary for future reference. You are obviously an expert in this area and I value your input.
Elizabeth Lyons (asker) Jun 4, 2006:
Thank you, Lars, all of you seem to agree on this point, so it must be the right direction to take. : )
Lars Jelking Jun 4, 2006:
I would suggest it is a description of the activities/business ventures. Something like a jobdescription for an employee but for the whole company.
Elizabeth Lyons (asker) Jun 4, 2006:
All your answers clarify this term for me greatly! Do any of you think they might mean "annual report"? Or is it more generic as you have all suggested. It may be the difference between business language in the US versus the EU or Sweden. I appreciate all this input.

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thank you Lars (and all) - I kept all the suggestions in my file because I am not 100% sure what the client meant here. Both Operations Descriptions and Business Descriptions appear to be common in US texts. Activity reports sounds like the most reasonable translation, but I went with Lar's activity reports since there was so much confirmation among you. This was very helpful! Tack ska du ha!"
