Tax professionals in Sweden

In Sweden, the title 'auktoriserad revisor' (authorized auditor) is a state-regulated designation issued and supervised by Revisorsinspektionen (the Swedish Inspectorate of Auditors); FAR is the professional institute for the accountancy profession and sets standards for both authorized auditors and authorized accounting consultants. There is no single state licence specifically for personal tax-return preparation, so consumers typically signal qualification by verifying Revisorsinspektionen authorization or FAR membership.
