Accessibility statement

This is the accessibility statement for the Financial Supervisory Authority (FIN-FSA) website www.finanssivalvonta.fi. The statement was prepared on 10 January 2020 and updated on 10 June 2024. The accessibility of the online service was last assessed by an external entity in June 2024. Revisions are made to the accessibility of the website on an ongoing basis.

Accessibility status of the website finanssivalvonta.fi

In many respects, the website meets the accessibility requirements well. However, there are deficiencies in accessibility, for example in the following aspects:  

  • some individual images and graphs still lack a comprehensible text alternative (WCAG 1.1.1)
  • the structure of some individual tables is not adequate (WCAG 1.3.1)
  • the column headings of some individual tables have no comprehensible heading at the code level
  • the heading structure is not logical on all pages (WCAG 1.3.1)
  • text in different languages amongst the main language is not marked correctly, in some individual releases the language is not marked correctly (WCAG 3.1.2, 3.1.1)
  • autocompletion of form data is not fulfilled for all forms (WCAG 1.3.5)
  • the functionality of dynamic searches and accordion elements with some screen readers may be deficient (WCAG 1.1.1, 2.4.4, 4.1.2, 4.1.3)
  • when the keyboard is used, the main menu that opens may remain open over the links and buttons in focus, obscuring them completely (WCAG 2.4.11)
  • all form fields do not have a programmatic heading (WCAG 3.3.2)
  • all form fields and notifications do not have appropriate programmatic states and roles (WCAG 4.1.2, 4.1.3)
  • the listed of supervised entities cannot be accessed using the keyboard only (WCAG 2.1.)
  • there are programmatic illogicalities in the cookie dialogue, and the contact area of the link is too small (WCAG 1.3.1, 4.1.2, 2.5.8)
  • some individual link texts may be difficult to understand and the link may not be sufficiently distinguishable from the regular text (WCAG 2.4.4, 1.4.1)

Deficiencies in the accessibility of information produced in off-site systems have been identified. This content includes, for example, ‘Subscribe to newsletter’. Accessibility will be developed further in connection with subsequent software updates.

The following content is not accessible, because it is not covered by the applicable legislation: attachment files published before 23 September 2018 and videos published before 23 September 2020. These can be made accessible on request. New attachment files and videos published in the online service are, in principle, accessible.
