S:A

English translation: Total

Bus/Financial - Accounting / Financial statements
Swedish term or phrase: S:A
I have the abbreviation "S:A" appearing twice in a financial statement (Swedish into English).

Each appearance is at the bottom of a page.

1) S:A -- TILLGÅNGAR; and:
2) S:A -- EGET KAPITAL OCH SKULDER.

Now, I have noted 4 pages on Kudoz/Proz giving it as "Summa" (Total), but:
I really do not understand what the "A" might mean.

Any suggestion about "S:A" out there?
Very grateful!

Explanation:
It is an abbreviation for summa. Like c:a is the abbreviation for cirka, this is just the Swedish way of doing it, with both the first and last letter.
