Accessibility statement for the website moneylaundering.fi

This statement is about the Ministry of Finance website vm.fi. The website is subject to the requirements of the Act on the Provision of Digital Services. Under the Act, public online services must be accessible, which means that everyone must have equal access to them. This accessibility statement describes the identified shortcomings in the accessibility of the website and provides information on how you can give us feedback on the website’s accessibility. This statement was drawn up on 22 September 2020 and updated on 2 January 2026. 

Accessibility of the website  

The website moneylaundering.fi largely meets the A and AA accessibility criteria (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines WCAG 2.1) required by the Act, and has no critical shortcomings in its accessibility. The main shortcomings in the accessibility of the service are described later in this statement. The exceptions applicable are also referred to below.  

An external expert assessment of the accessibility of the website was commissioned as part of a wider assessment of ministry websites that use the same publication platform. The shortcomings that were found have been corrected. We will be monitoring the website’s accessibility on a continuous basis using, for example, an appropriate software tool. 

Accessibility will be taken into account in the development of all new features. The Ministry of Finance also provides guidance for its officials to ensure they take into account accessibility requirements in their work. 

If the material you need is not accessible, please contact us by email. We will supply the material you need in an accessible form. 

Content and functionalities that are not yet accessible 

Accessibility issues in PDF documents  

The website includes PDF documents that have been published since 23 September 2018 but do not meet the accessibility requirements.  

  • The documents may include visual elements and diagrams that do not have text alternatives. (WCAG 1.1.1) 
  • The documents may have layout issues that hamper screen reader use, such as unnecessary line breaks and headings with no heading levels marked, or the heading structure may be incorrect. (WCAG 1.3.1) 
  • Table structures in the documents may have issues that hamper screen reader use; for example, table structures may have been used for text layout, there may be no programmatically determined column headings, or similar data may have been divided into several tables. (WCAG 1.3.1) 
  • The documents may have footnotes that are not linked to the text, and it may be difficult to interpret them when using a screen reader. (WCAG 1.3.1) 
  • There may be shortcomings in file metadata, such as missing titles or incorrect language specifications and author information. 
  • Some files do not have any structural tags. (WCAG 1.3.1) 

Links 

Many of the external links on the website say that the link opens in a new tab, even it opens in the same tab. (WCAG 2.4.4) 

The website contains broken links. These will be repaired in connection with other updates. 

Shortcomings concerning keyboard use 

The website features accordion designs, for instance in frequently asked questions (FAQs). Some of the accordions are not navigable with the keyboard and some have defective or incorrect ARIA attributes. Furthermore, the visual indicator of an open accordion does not function correctly in some cases. (WCAG 2.1.1) 

Shortcomings in content listings 

The website contains content lists, such as lists of press releases, where the ‘Opens in a new window’ link includes a ‘<title>’ element, which is not optimal for a screen reader. Neither is the RSS icon, which is presented in connection with the content listing, fully accessible (the WAI-ARIA image has no accessible name). (WCAG 1.3.5) 

Content imported from other systems 

The website includes content imported from other systems. Any accessibility issues with these con-tents are due to the original system. 

Publications 

The website contains links to PDF publications in the Institutional Repository for the Government (Valto). Separate accessibility statements have been prepared for the publications and the Institutional Repository, describing any accessibility issues they may have.
