The supervisory authorities may make different types of decisions in connection with the enforcement of these Regulations. An example of a decision may be an order from a supervisory authority to comply with the requirement in the Regulations to ensure that the enterprise has established internal control. Another example could be ordering an enterprise to comply with the requirements to document internal control.

Orders relating to system failures etc. are issued based on the Internal Control Regulations. Orders concerning specific violations of the underlying laws and regulations are issued pursuant to the Internal Control Regulations.
