liquid reserve fund
According to "Dansk Engelsk Økonomisk Ordbog" (Dispositionsfond), and I am sure the Norwegian word means the same as the Danish.

Adrian MM. (X)
: the preposition to 'retained earnings' doesn't work. Surely, it must be AS retained earnings.

: Too Scandi (why use a Scandi construct when there are at least two perfectly valid English equivalents? The asker clearly hasn't a clue about accounts, so chances are the client is no expert either and could use something they are familiar with)
