The Danish FSA

The Danish Financial Supervisory Authority (FSA) regularly conducts inspections of the financial institutions in Denmark, including Danske Bank, and afterwards prepares statements of its inspections. We are required to publish such statements on our website. We must also publish decisions and other supervisory reactions from the FSA.

Below you can find statements, decisions, supervisory reactions and the like listed by quarter and any comments we may have.
