The Danish Financial Supervisory Authority has introduced a streamlined communication model to help firms, advisers and other stakeholders distinguish binding requirements and supervisory decisions from guidance and general information. Its communications will be organized into four categories: legislation, supervisory practice, guidance and information. Legislation covers rules binding on firms and the authority, while supervisory practice comprises specific assessments and supervisory responses based on those rules. Guidance explains the authority’s interpretation of existing rules and practices without creating new obligations, while information provides context and knowledge through formats such as sector news and reports. The model will be introduced gradually. Existing website content will be reviewed and adapted over time to create a more consistent structure and make relevant material easier to find.
