Validation rules

133 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

133 rows on the sheet 'FIN-FSA Validation rules' in the table workbook vp_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 firm by firm. FIN-FSA's pension-insurance statistics page names each employee pension insurance company in its performance-analysis workbooks (current through 2026), matching VP's subject. Source

Where it is published (Excel)

  • Pension insurance statistics

    Firm by firm · Excel (xls)

    Confirmed firm-level: the key-figures workbook (2025_tunnusluvut_e_fi_sv_en.xlsx, read 13 Nov 2026) names each employee pension insurance company in its own column (for example 'Keskinäinen Eläkevakuutusyhtiö Etera', 'Eläkevakuutusosakeyhtiö Veritas') and was last updated 2 June 2026. The 'only to 2010' note in an earlier version of this entry was wrong: the page currently offers current series (labelled '2017-', '2022-' etc., with files dated into 2026) for employee pension insurance companies and industry-wide/company pension funds, alongside older 2001-2016 archive files.
