Terminology Bulletin 249

By Sylvie Drolet. The Financial Information Strategy Glossary (FIS) was compiled by scanning the electronic editions of various financial publications for terms used throughout the federal government. The Glossary, which contains approximately 800 entries and a number of observations, should be very useful for anyone called upon to translate a document for a department or an agency operating under the FIS.
