Fee:
There is no fee for processing the application.
Case processing deadlines:
The Financial Supervisory Authority aims to process authorisation applications within 30 days. However, processing may take longer if the application is complex or lacks documentation. Processing time may also be extended if there are many cases to be handled. Therefore, some applicants may experience processing times longer than 30 days.
Processing Time:
The applicant will always receive a decision letter once the application has been processed. As a general rule, the response is sent to a digital mailbox if the applicant has one. If the applicant does not have a digital mailbox, the response will be sent to the provided postal address. The applicant will also be contacted if the application is missing required documentation.
Right of appeal:
The decision of the Financial Supervisory Authority can be appealed. The appeal should be sent to the Financial Supervisory Authority. The appeals body is the Appeals Board for Accountants. The applicant has the right to access the case documents within the framework of the Public Administration Act §§ 18 to 19. The appeal must state which decision is being appealed, the desired change, and the reasons for the appeal. The Financial Supervisory Authority will conduct any investigations warranted by the appeal, and if the rejection is upheld, forward the appeal to the appeal body, cf. the Public Administration Act § 33.
