English language (monolingual) [PRO]
Bus/Financial / operating costs
English term or phrase: IS-related LHW
This on a list of the different cost items of a bank, together with stationery supplies and repair/maintenance.

I assume that IS might be the information system (I can't see it anywhere else in the list) and CLUE might be that such costs shall be approved by the head of the HR and the head of the realty services. (It's US English, in any case.)
