The Corporate Services Department (AVS) consists of a staff and units working with IT support, HR, financial management, surveillance and service and premises and security.

Two divisions, the System Services Division and the IT Services Division, are responsible for the operation, maintenance, development and administration of applications and systems, as well as for the support and development of the PC environment.

Other divisions are responsible for many of the support functions in the bank, such as financial and HR issues, the Riksbank's properties, security, transportation and security surveillance.

In addition, all service activities, such as telephony, archives, storerooms, mail and cleaning, belong here. The staff unit of the Administration Department consists of departmental management (head of department and deputy head of department) and a procurement function that assists the bank in procurement issues with its expert knowledge.

In other words, AVS has many different roles and activities, but the common objective is to ensure that the Bank is in a position to succeed with its main tasks.
