Non-accessible content
The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons.

Multiple instances of the same ID

The ID value specified multiple times is called "DataProvider". This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.3.1 Info and Relationships (A) and 4.1.1 parsing (A).
Some parts of page are not keyboard accessible
The submenu of our website is not keyboard only accessible so users cannot navigate effectively. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 2.1.1 Keyboard.
Links have no discernible text
