Examinations
The new Finnish auditor examination system was introduced on 1 January 2016.
We arrange examinations in Finnish and in Swedish according to the new examination system annually.
Finnish auditor examinations
The HT examination is the basic examination in auditing.
A person who has passed the HT examination can specialize
- in audits of public interest entities (PIE) by passing a KHT examination and/or
- in audits of public administration and finance by passing a JHT examination.
Aptitude test for auditors approved in an EEA state
Under certain conditions, an auditor approved in a state belonging to the European Economic Area (EEA) may be approved as an HT, KHT, or JHT auditor.
The applicant must pass an aptitude test to gain approval.
The aptitude test includes questions on the following:

The applicant must prove they have been approved as an auditor in another EEA state.
