Accessibility statement
The Federal Ministry of Finance (BMF) and the Oesterreichische Nationalbank (OeNB) strive to make their websites accessible to all users in accordance with the Austrian Web Accessibility Act (Web-Zugänglichkeitsgesetz – WZG), as amended, implementing Directive (EU) 2016/2102 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 October 2016 on the accessibility of the websites and mobile applications of public sector bodies.
This accessibility statement applies to the website finanznavi.gv.at.
Status of compliance with accessibility requirements
This website partially conforms with the AA conformance level set out in the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines – WCAG 2.1 and with the applicable European Standard EN 301 549 V2.1.2 (2018-08), despite some noncompliance issues and based on some exceptions as described below.
Non-accessible content
Some content on the website is not accessible for everyone for the following reasons:
Handouts and checklists
The handouts and infographics are primarily aimed at teachers, who can use them as a basis for their teaching materials or to monitor learning progress. It is not immediately possible to fulfill the necessary requirements for these handouts and checklists due to the effort involved in preparing them accordingly. The rectification of these deficits is scheduled for a later date.
Audio description of English videos
The audio description of the English videos is currently not available, though subtitles are already implemented and can be shown.
Preparation of this accessibility statement
This statement was prepared on August 15, 2024.
The compliance of the website with the Austrian Web Accessibility Act, implementing the requirements under Directive (EU) 2016/2102, was evaluated in September 2020 by means of self-assessment under WCAG 2.1 at AA conformance level. New website content is reviewed on a regular basis by the responsible web editors.

Enforcement procedure
If you are not satisfied with how we respond to your messages or suggestions, you may address a complaint to the Austrian Research Promotion Agency (FFG) via its electronic contact form.
The FFG will examine complaints to determine if they relate to violations of the Web Accessibility Act, in particular to deficiencies in compliance with accessibility requirements by a federal government body or a public institution related to the federal government. If the complaint is justified, the FFG will make recommendations for action to the legal entities concerned and propose measures to eliminate the existing deficiencies.
