About this statute

This provision says the law applies to foundations and similar entities, defines a foundation, and requires foundations to collect, register, update, retain, and disclose beneficial-owner information. A foundation must have bylaws, minimum starting assets, and a board, and several filings and decisions must be made within set deadlines. Direktører og mindst halvdelen af bestyrelsesmedlemmerne skal bo i landet, med visse undtagelser. Bestyrelsesmedlemmer kan også blive nødt til at træde ud under bestemte forhold, og fondsmyndigheden kan afsætte et medlem eller en direktør, der ikke opfylder kravene i den fortsatte tekst. The provision lets the foundation authority remove board members in some cases and sets rules for board composition, remuneration, meetings, accounts, and audit. Auditors must live in the country, be independent, audit annual accounts properly, and report certain remarks to the foundation authority. Boards must give auditors access and help; the authority may exempt, remove, and order compliance.
