As part of the assessment of the effectiveness of the Internal Audit Service of the State Institution “Apparatus of the Akim of the Zhetisu Region” (hereinafter referred to as the IAS MIO), employees of the Department for Interaction with State Audit Bodies of the Internal State Audit Committee of the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan held a working meeting with the participation of the auditor of the State Institution “Apparatus of the Akim of the Zhetisu Region” and employees of the Department of Internal State Audit for the Zhetisu Region (hereinafter referred to as the DIA).
The meeting reviewed the results of the planned assessment of the IAS MIO,
as well as issues of quality control of audit materials.
The main problems and systemic shortcomings are
poor-quality preliminary study of objects, lack of completeness of analysis of their activities in terms of achieving relevant indicators, as well as non-compliance with certain requirements of the Standards and Rules for conducting state audits.
Taking into account the results of quality control, the Committee developed and issued recommendations aimed at improving the quality and effectiveness of audit activities, ensuring access to information databases, strengthening the role of audit councils, expanding the scope of audits,
and using electronic formats for conducting them.
The Committee will continue to coordinate the activities of the SAI, including providing methodological and advisory assistance.
