Staff working at the Petroleum Safety Authority (PSA) have been forced to sell shares in firms which are audited by the oil and gas body.
The move comes after it was revealed in Norwegian media earlier this year some employees owned shares in firms under the PSA’s audit remit.
According to reports, of the 10 employees found to have shares, eight had gone to the Labour and Social Affairs department regrading the matter.
It was found two employees who held administrative roles were allowed to keep their shares, while six others were told to sell their shares earlier this year.
