Supervisory Board of Public Accountants

The Supervisory Board of Public Accountants (Revisorsnämnden - The Board) is a governmental authority under the Ministry of Justice. The Board handles matters relating to chartered accountants and chartered accounting firms. Thus, the Board arranges exams, issues approval or authorization of auditors and registered audit firms.

The Board also supervises chartered accountants and registered public accounting firms, investigates and decides on disciplinary and other measures against auditors and registered public accounting firms, and ensures that professional ethics for accountants and generally accepted auditing standards are developed in an appropriate way.

The Board's four main tasks are:

• Examination

• Approval, authorization and registration

• Supervision
• International co-operation
