SPEECH BY GOVERNOR LARS ROHDE AT THE ANNUAL MEETING OF DANISH AUDITORS  CHECK AGAINST DELIVERY 10 September 2019  Thank you for inviting me to speak here today. My topic is trust and transparency in the financial system. This topic is always current, but it became particularly relevant in connection with the financial crisis.
It was a substantial breach of trust when central governments in large parts of the western world had to use taxpayer funds to save the financial sector. In recent years, the topic has surfaced again following a number of unfortunate issues that have accumulated since the financial crisis.
