MO AG

French to English Bus/Financial Automotive / Cars & Trucks acronym - business
Hi everyone,
I am translating a company performance review and am stuck on this acronym. It occurs without much context in a list of expenditures as MO AG (EVENT/yyy(prestation MO AG xxxxxx') where company y I think is running an event for the client x .I think AG may be assemblée générale?, does anyone have any ideas about MO AG?

thanks
Sue

Thanks! Many thanks to all who replied. My apologies for not providing more context. This was listed business subject to end of year discounts, in this context I think that Philippe's answer is the most likely.

Is this a Swiss doc? AG sounds German (as Julia explains).
Howard Sugar Nov 30, 2015:
AG might be assistance de gestion
Howard Sugar Nov 30, 2015:
I think the MO is Management des Organisations
Julia Burgess Nov 30, 2015:
Could it be a German company? AG is a common company type in Germany (Aktiengesellschaft). Whether it's a German AG or a French AG, I would imagine it's a company name, so would leave it as MO AG in the translation.

Labour for meeting/exhibition setup

Main d'oeuvre agencement/aménagement général. Ou pas.
Train of thought:
Expenditures: MO is a very common acronym for main d'oeuvre.
Event: there are stands to setup in shows, which can require specialised building staff.

neutral Lori Cirefice : this seems like a likely possibility!

yours is too, and the OP will know whether agribusiness in Missouri is involved!

Reference:

Could it be the name of an event?

I realize this has nothing to do with the automotive industry, but if the context here is a company that builds/decorates stands at trade shows, you would think they might be involved in a number of trade shows in various sectors?

agree Chakib Roula : It might be "Assemblées Générales" indeed.
