Swiss Organization
Finma
FINMA primarily acts as a supervisory authority, whose main task is to monitor compliance with the laws and ordinances issued by Parliament and the Federal Council. Direct regulation by FINMA through its own ordinances and circulars is limited to a rather small number of cases and of a lower rank.
FINMA authorizes companies operating in sectors that fall within the remit of the supervisory authority. In this way, it acts as the "border guard" of the authorized financial market, so to speak. Through its supervisory activity, FINMA ensures compliance by the relevant institutions in accordance with prudential law. All supervisors are required to constantly comply with the authorization conditions. FINMA is also responsible for combating money laundering.
