On Genline Church accounting, what are those records and do they have parishers names?

Probably you are talking about Kyrkliga räkenskaper, i.e. bookkeeping!

I've seen a few of these records and yes, there are names telling who paid for things.  
 
There are four pages (pages 117-120) about these records in the 2002 edition of Cradled in Sweden. Most of those pages are scans of an example of such a record plus a transcription and a word list. This comes before that.
 
---------------------------------------------
Parish Accounts (Kyrkoräkenskapsbok)
 
When available, the parish accounts usually go back to the 1600s. They may contain detailed accounts of those who paid for the opening of a grave indicating a death, or who paid the bride's money  or gave a special donation at a christening. The donors were usually very close relatives and thus these accounts may supplement some missing parish registers....  
------------------------------------------------
I remember finding some useful information besides accounts in one of these books. I don't remember offhand which parish. There were baptism dates for some children, which was great to know because those birth/baptism books were missing for those years.

Also names of people paying fines for whoring which may come in useful when searching for the father of a child born out of wedlock.
 
Yes, church accounts may come in very handy at times. To quote Josephine Tey (The Daughter of Time): Truth isn't in accounts but in account books.
