The Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway has changed how it publishes material describing its supervisory practice, with “guidance” documents replacing “circulars” as the main format. The guidance will be practical and relatively concise, aimed at supervised firms and individuals, and will show when it was last updated. Subscribers to news from a given supervisory area will be notified when the authority makes material changes to a guidance document. Existing circulars will remain available on the website where still relevant, but are intended to be replaced by guidance over time; only the current version of each guidance will be published online, with earlier versions available on request.

Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway replaces supervisory circulars with new guidance format
The Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway will now use "guidance" documents instead of "circulars" to describe its supervisory practices. These concise documents will be updated regularly, with notifications sent to subscribers of relevant supervisory areas. Existing circulars will remain accessible online until replaced by guidance, with previous versions available upon request.
