EAEU to create single market for audit services

Kazakh auditors will be able to work freely in any of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) countries and make reports that will be recognized throughout the Union. Today, members of the Upper House of the Kazakh Parliament ratified the agreement, which provides for creating a unified market for audit services in the EAEU. The document will expand business opportunities as well as improve the efficiency and competitiveness of Kazakh audit companies, as stated by Senate member Serik Uteshov at the meeting. It is noteworthy that there are currently 500 audit organizations operating in Kazakhstan.

“The purpose of the agreement is to form a single audit union, render and receive audit services, without limitation or exception, without an additional institution in the host country, as well as mutual recognition of auditors’ certificates and audit reports. The agreement defines unified requirements for auditors, audit organizations, the emergence and termination of the right to carry out auditing activities, examinations, external quality control and auditing standards,” said Uteshev.
