Background & Purpose

There are certain constitutional issues and lack of clarity regarding how the annual audit of the Riksbank Jubileumsfond foundation is currently carried out.

The Decision

The Swedish parliament has decided to require an investigation to review the annual audit procedures for the Riksbank Jubileumsfond foundation.

Does this affect you?

  • Foundation Board Members: Will be affected by clearer guidelines and a reviewed process for how their financial statements and audits are handled.
  • Researchers in Humanities and Social Sciences: May experience clearer administrative processes regarding the foundation that supports their academic research.

In Practice

  • Riksdagsstyrelsen is tasked with setting up an investigation.
  • The connection between the foundation and the Swedish parliament will remain unchanged.
  • The annual financial statements will continue to be submitted to the Swedish parliament for review.
