Legal basis for auditing

The financial market legislation governing the supervision of audit firms derives from a FINMA ordinance.

Financial Market Auditing Ordinance

This ordinance sets out how audit firms and auditors are to be licensed, how FINMA is to supervise audit firms, how FINMA and the Federal Audit Oversight Authority are to coordinate their activities and how supervised institutions are to be audited to comply with FINMASA.
