Board

The Board sets the specific objectives for the activities of FIN-FSA, decides the operational principles, and guides and supervises achievement of the objectives and compliance with these principles.

In addition, the Board considers the budget of the FIN-FSA and submits it to the Board of the Bank of Finland for confirmation. In accordance with section 10 of the Act on the Financial Supervisory Authority (878/2008), the Board supplies the Parliamentary Supervisory Council at least once a year with a report on the operational objectives of the FIN-FSA and their achievement. This includes an assessment of expected changes in supervision, their impact on the accumulation of supervision fees and measures required by the expected changes.
