Validation rules
636 rules, as counted from the FIN-FSA's published material. Software can run them exactly as published. Source
How they are written: A sheet in the table workbook with one rule per row: the rule itself as a formula over table cells in the column ValidationCode (for example 'VA01a(1020,10)=SUM(VA01a(102010,10):VA01a(102030,10))'), then the table code, start and end date, frequency, system code, severity and interval..
The same workbook is the table template for the return.
The rules, on finanssivalvonta.fi
How they were counted
636 rows on the sheet 'FIN-FSA Validation rules' in the table workbook ve_lomakemalli_fi.xlsx, one per ValidationCode, none with an end date before 13 November 2026. Every rule has the severity 'Warning'.
Counts are in the FIN-FSA's own unit, so they are not comparable with other regulators' counts.
Public data
Published only added up across firms. FIN-FSA's life/non-life insurance statistics page carries VE's subject (technical provisions) in its provision-for-outstanding-claims and provision-for-unearned-premiums workbooks; the files read show Finland-wide totals, not figures by named insurer. Source
Where it is published (Excel)
- Life and non-life insurance statistics, including foreign (EEA) insurers' operations in Finland
Firm by firm · Excel
Mixed, confirmed by opening files: the non-life 'result by insurance classes' workbook (2025_vm01c_tilasto_420.xlsx, the VM01c table) is a pivot table with a company selector defaulted to '(All)', so it carries firm-level data firm by firm even though the default view shows the total; it is 9.1 MB. The quarterly 'premium written and claims paid' workbooks and the EEA-insurers'-operations workbooks show Finland-wide or by-country totals only, with no firm named, so those parts are aggregate. Kept as 'firm-level' overall because the VM01c pivot is the one that matches a return in this file. Coverage is current (2026 Q2 for premium/claims, 2025 for EEA operations), not 'up to 2022' as an earlier version of this entry said. Source
