French term or phrase: ordinal
Does anyone know what "ordinal" might mean in the following context?

"vos obligations déclaratives en matière sociale, fiscale, et ordinale et des règlements financiers qui en résultent, "

Many thanks in advance for you help!

PS: The source text is Belgian French from what I can gather...

Notes to answerer
Asker: Many thanks for your feedback Conor! In the meantime, the customer has come back to confirm that "ordinal" actually relates to "ordre des experts-comptables” (referred to earlier in the doc), so I guess you were pretty much there! Many thanks again ;-)
