The Register for Governmental Approval of Financial Obligations (in Norwegian Register om betinget godkjenning og kontroll, often shortened to ROBEK) is a Norwegian government register of municipalities and counties who have not submitted a balanced budget. The consequence of being in the registry is that resolutions of incurring debt, or entering long-term rental contracts must be approved by Norwegian Ministry of Local Government and Regional Development in order to be valid. Budgets must be approved by either the ministry or the County Governor.
