Chapter 3 · How Sweden is governed
Bilden visar JO och JK som granskar myndigheter. Vad betyder pilen märkt ”granskar”?
The diagram shows JO and JK scrutinising agencies. What does the arrow labelled “granskar” mean?
Correct answer: Checks that agencies act correctly
JO (Parliamentary Ombudsmen) and JK (Chancellor of Justice) check that agencies perform their duties according to the rules. Scrutiny is oversight, not carrying out the agency’s daily work.

Why this option does not fit
Leder myndigheternas dagliga arbete
Supervision checks how work is carried out. The agency’s own management is responsible for daily operations.
Ändrar myndigheternas beslut vid överklaganden
A complaint to JO or JK is not an appeal. Their review does not replace the ordinary procedure for changing a decision.
Godkänner varje ärende innan myndigheten beslutar
Agencies make their own decisions. Supervision does not mean JO or JK must approve every case in advance.
