Tilsynsrapport

A tilsynsrapport is a document issued by a supervisory authority after an inspection or audit. It summarizes the findings of the visit, assesses whether the entity complies with applicable laws and regulations, and outlines corrective actions needed to address any identified deficiencies. The purpose is to promote safe and responsible operation, accountability, and continuous improvement, and to inform the inspected organization as well as other stakeholders.

Content and structure of a tilsynsrapport typically include background and purpose, scope and methodology, a summary of findings, assessment of compliance and risk, conclusions, and prioritized recommendations. It may also present an action plan with deadlines, responsible parties, and follow-up requirements. Depending on the sector, parts of the report can describe how information was gathered, and may note confidentiality or privacy considerations.

The process usually involves planning the inspection, collecting evidence, and conducting on-site visits or interviews. After analysis, the draft report is shared with the inspected entity for comment before a final version is issued. In many cases, the report or key parts of it are published or made accessible to the public, subject to privacy rules and legal restrictions.

Follow-up is common: authorities monitor the implementation of recommended measures and may conduct subsequent inspections to verify improvements. Tilsynsrapporter are used across sectors such as health, education, social services, and public administration to ensure compliance with laws and quality standards.
