Tillsynsökta

Tillsynsökta is a Swedish adjective used to denote that a person, company or activity is subject to official supervision by a regulatory authority. The term appears in administrative and legal texts to indicate that oversight applies and that the entity falls within the regulator's remit.

In practice, being tillsynsökta means that the entity responds to requirements such as licensing or registration, regular reporting, compliance with standards, and inspections. Supervisory authorities may include national agencies, such as a financial supervisory authority, health board, environmental agency, or municipal bodies.

The status is not itself an accusation or finding of fault; rather it describes a condition within a regulatory framework. However, it typically carries the expectation of ongoing monitoring and potential sanctions for non-compliance, including warnings, fines, or license suspension.

The use of the term is common in official texts aimed at clarifying regulatory coverage, before applying rules or during enforcement actions. It is sector-sensitive and may vary by jurisdiction and agency. For example, a financial institution may be described as tillsynsökta by Finansinspektionen; a daycare facility might be tillsynsökta under municipal health inspection.

Etymology note: the word is a compound built from tillsyn (oversight) and a participial form indicating status, commonly used in Swedish administrative language.
