agree  Dian Kjærgaard: subcontracting - yes, absolutely. I've never heard "subletting" in this context (for me, subletting is what you do with offices and homes).

contract work


Explanation:
I would suggest to translate "fremmedarbejde" or "arbejder for fremmed regning as "contract work".

For example the IAS item "contract work in progress" translates into "igangværende arbejder for fremmed regning".

Contract work: Many employers offer employment under fixed-term contracts as they have a greater control over staffing costs and are able to limit their redundancy payment liabilities. (http://www.mortgages.co.uk/glossary/c.html)

Example sentence(s):
  • Contract work in progress is an item under stocks and current assets in the balance sheet representing work that has been started on a job or combination of interrelated jobs, but not completed, under a project or construction contract.
  • During these troubled economic times, Hong Kong’s finance and accounting professionals who are currently looking for a new job, may find employment success in contract work for special projects.

neutral  Dian Kjærgaard: I've never heard this term. It'd make sense if it means work delivered to other enterprises
