In accordance with the directives of the Head of State, the Anti-Corruption Service pays attention to ensuring the principle of lawfulness in the education sector.For example, the Anti-Corruption Service of the Aktobe region is investigating a criminal case against the acting head of the regional department for ensuring quality in education. He is suspected of repeatedly accepting bribes from heads of educational institutions in exchange for facilitating the state certification process.The Anti-Corruption Service of the Kyzylorda region is conducting a pre-trial investigation against the head of the education department in the city of Kyzylorda. She is suspected of accepting a bribe of KZT 1 mln from a city resident for employing her relative as a teacher in an organization under her jurisdiction.In the Aktobe region, a criminal case is under investigation by the Anti-Corruption Service against the chief specialist of the education department of the city of Aktobe. She is suspected of embezzling budget funds amounting to KZT 4.9 mln by unjustifiably allocating herself a salary above the established norm.The investigation is in progress.According to Article 201 of the Criminal Procedure Code, further information is not subject to disclosure in the interests of the investigation.The Enbekshikazakh District Court of the Almaty region announced a verdict against the head of the Education Department of the Balhash district D. Akmoldaeva and eight accountants from the same department. They were found guilty of embezzling budget funds amounting to KZT 129.6 mln by allocating themselves inflated salaries.D. Akmoldaeva was sentenced to 8 years and 6 months of imprisonment and banned from holding public service positions for life. The accountants received sentences ranging from 2 to 8 years of imprisonment along with bans from holding public service positions for 3 to 10 years.The Taldykorgan City Court announced a verdict against the chief accountant of Secondary School No. 12 of Taldykorgan municipal government institutions G. Salpinova and the school's accountant N. Yusupov. They were found guilty of embezzling budget funds amounting to KZT 24.5 mln by allocating themselves a salary above the established norm. G. Salpinova and N. Yusupov were sentenced to 8 and 7 years of imprisonment, respectively. In addition, the convicts are banned from holding public service positions and positions in quasi-state entities for 10 years.The court rulings have not yet come into legal force.In accordance with subparagraph 1 of paragraph 3 of Article 77 of the Constitution and part 1 of Article 19 of the Criminal Procedure Code, every person is presumed innocent until proven guilty by a court decision that has entered into legal force.To minimize the risk of embezzlement, uniform technical requirements for accounting software with risk management systems have been introduced in almost all regions. These systems allow for timely prevention of salary manipulation and “dead souls,” as well as blocking the entry of fictitious data. Additionally, the "Cloud Accounting" project is being implemented, which aims to centralize all accounting systems and integrate them with the databases of government authorities, including the Treasury.This project will ensure transparency in budget planning and eliminate the risks of entering fictitious data in payment documents and other financial violations.Currently, Governor’s Offices are conducting monthly automatic reconciliations of the accounting systems of educational organizations with the reports of the Treasury. Any discrepancies are rechecked.Additionally, since August of this year, the Internal Audit Committee and its regional departments have been carrying out desk audits of payments to detect unjustified salary allocations. All suspicious transactions are submitted for analysis to the Anti-Corruption Service, the Education Department, and the organization that made the payment.This process allows for the tracking of all suspicious transactions and the detection of violations. One of the new measures is the implementation of an automated verification mechanism for payment documents to ensure the accuracy of the personal data of the recipients of monetary payments.Thus, since March 1, as part of the implementation of item 9 of the Roadmap, the information system of the Treasury Committee of the Ministry of Finance has been integrated with the state database of individuals maintained by the Ministry of Justice. Now all payments to teachers – including salaries, travel allowances, bonuses, and vacation pay – are automatically verified against official data by individual identification number and full name.Additionally, secondary-level banks reconcile incoming payments by individual identification number with the bank account data. This completely suppresses the possibility of transferring funds based on fictitious data, such as when a bank account of a third party is listed under the name of an active employee.It should be noted that the implemented mechanism applies not only to educational organizations but also to other state institutions that make payments through the Treasury system.We are already seeing significant changes and the effects of the measures taken.If, in 2023, embezzlements in this sector exceeded KZT 17 bln, then in 2024, thanks to the new measures, such losses have been significantly reduced to KZT 22 mln.Work in this area will continue.#Law_and_Order #LAWandORDER❗️ If you are faced with corruption, please report it by Hotline 1424 and send photos/videos to our WhatsApp chat bot at +7 777 000 1424 and to our Telegram bot @antikorkz_bot!Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/anticorruption/press/news/details/960593?lang=kk

Since January 13, 2025, the international standard ISO 20022 for payment systems has been implemented in Kazakhstan, which has led to changes in the rules for non-cash payments.Now, payment orders have new columns for indicating the "Actual payer" and "Money sender".According to the Rules, when a legal entity pays payments to the budget, as well as OPV, OPVR, OPPV and SO to the State Social Insurance Fund, deductions and (or) contributions to the FSMS for its separate division, the name of the separate division of the legal entity for whose obligations the payment is made is indicated in the "Actual payer" column, and its BIN is indicated in the "IIN (BIN)" column.The rules also stipulate that when a bailiff pays payments to the budget for the debtor's obligations in the "Actual payer" column, the surname, first name, patronymic (if any) of the debtor for whom the payment is made is indicated, as well as his IIN in the "IIN (BIN)" column.Important: when filling out the information, correctly indicate the IIN/BIN in the payment documents for the correct distribution of payments.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kgd-kyzylorda/press/news/details/963221?lang=kk

At the government meeting, the Minister of Culture and Information of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Aida Balayeva, reported on the development of the creative industry in the republic. He pointed out that since 2021, the President has repeatedly emphasized the importance of increasing the share of this sector in the country's economy in his Addresses to the people of Kazakhstan. A special project office works in the republic, the concept of development of the industry was adopted, work was carried out on its institutional formation and stimulation of business in this field, Primeminister.kz reports. The number of registered entities engaged in creative industry in Kazakhstan exceeds 45.5 thousand, the share of the total added value in the country's GDP is 1%. More than 50% of all subjects are concentrated in Almaty and Astana, 70% of them are private entrepreneurs," said Aida Balayeva.It was noted that a total of 143,600 people are employed in the creative sectors of our country. Among them, IT, architecture and fashion, cultural and recreational institutions, libraries and museums, as well as folk crafts are labor-intensive industries. From February 2024, within the framework of complex support measures for entrepreneurs in the creative field, a special tax regime of retail tax was introduced for them. As a result, within 1 year, the number of creative industry subjects increased by 15%, and the number of employed persons increased by 15%. According to the Ministry of Culture and Information, according to the results of the 2024 Global Innovation Index, Kazakhstan rose from 93rd to 65th place in the "Creative goods and services" indicator. Also, our country rose from 60th place to 31st place according to the indicator "National film production". Considering the simplified tax regime for the residents of "Astana Hub", as well as the close relationship between the IT industry and creative industries, it is clear that this industry has a great future. Considering that the draft of the new Tax Code is currently under discussion, we ask for consideration of a number of tax incentives for the creative industry. In addition to maintaining the special tax regime of "retail tax", they took part in setting reduced rates for value added tax and corporate income tax," said Aida Balayeva.At the beginning of the year, the Head of State signed a law aimed at supporting the creative industry. These legislative changes are focused on three main directions, such as formation of institutional frameworks, infrastructure development and measures to support priority industries.This law includes amendments on issues of support and development of creative industries. In particular, to expand the competence of authorized and local executive bodies, to determine the legal entity of the Government that promotes the development of creative industries, to approve the competence of the authorized body to develop and approve the rules of state support and stimulation of creative industries.In addition, the second package of amendments has been developed and is being reviewed by the Majilis.In addition, on Saturday, the Head of State signed the law on amendments to the Budget Code and related laws. Within the framework of these amendments, 3% of the lottery tickets sold by the national lottery operator are intended to be directed to the development of the creative industry. In his 2021 Address, the Head of State ordered the creation of a special institute to support the creative industry. Thus, in accordance with the law, a legal entity that promotes the development of the creative industry will be the Fund for the Development of Creative Industries," the minister said.The fund will be created as a corporate fund with the participation of leading creative and educational organizations of Kazakhstan and will carry out activities in 4 main areas:Identification of talents (contests, creathons, organization of mobile production centers, search for talents in the regions).Projects development (acceleration and incubation of startups, commercialization, attracting investment).Infrastructure development (expansion of the network of hubs, creation of permanent art spaces, providing access to state property).Export support (exiting to foreign audiences, marketing and PR, copyright protection). According to the Minister of Culture and Information, such structures exist in leading countries of the world. The Creative England Foundation operates in Great Britain, and the Creative Korea Foundation operates in South Korea. This foundation is considered the main operator for the promotion of the Korean cultural wave (hallyu). One of the important directions of the Fund's activities is the development of venture investments in the creative industry. In this regard, a venture unit will be created on the basis of the IAF, attracting a pool of management companies, which will allow for effective placement of funds on an immediate and returnable basis," added Aida Balayeva. The next legislative innovation is to provide local executive bodies with competences for the development of the creative industry. This norm was adopted in order to create and develop creative hubs in the regions of the country. "Today, 12 creative hubs were opened across the republic. However, this work has not yet been completed in Akmola, Almaty, Zhetysu, Ulytau, Zhambyl, Karaganda, Kostanay and Pavlodar regions. Creative hubs should be the main infrastructure for the development of the creative industry in the regions. They become the center of the regional ecosystem and play an important role in attracting and working with talents," Aida Balayeva noted. In addition, additional educational centers for schoolchildren, colleges and higher education institutions, as well as private hubs and creative spaces will be involved in this system.As Aida Balayeva stated, after the full formation of the creative ecosystem in the regions, regional hubs will work as local branches of the Creative Industries Development Fund. They offer creators a full package of services of the Foundation, work according to a unified methodology, use the resources of the Foundation and other hubs. Thus, the "extraterritorial" principle is implemented, i.e., subjects of the creative industry can receive services and support at the same level regardless of the region of the country.Another legislative innovation is to define the competence of the Ministry of Culture and Information to develop and approve rules for state support and encouragement of the creative industry."The Ministry develops financial and non-financial tools aimed at supporting the industry. The main operators implementing these measures are the Creative Industries Development Fund, regional creative hubs and local executive bodies. World experience shows that it is ineffective to cover all types of activities in the creative industry at once. Therefore, in the initial stage, state support measures will be concentrated in specific priority directions," the speaker said.As a result of the implementation of the planned works, the following indicators will be achieved by 2029:First. Increasing the number of people employed in creative industries by 5% annually (2025 - 143,600 people, 2026 - 150,780 people, 2027 - 158,319 people, 2028 - 166,235 people, 2029 - 174,546 people)Second.

Since not all facilities in the creative industry are directly under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Culture and Information, it is very important for local executive bodies to strengthen support measures. Currently, there are not enough cinemas, special buildings and infrastructure for the full functioning and development of the industry. Therefore, local akimats should pay special attention to this issue," noted Aida Balayeva.According to the minister, investors should pay attention to the large-scale and promising potential of the creative industry and invest in projects based on the principles of public-private partnership."In particular, emphasis should be placed on the construction of large concert halls, creative hubs, cinemas and other creative spaces.

Since January 13, 2025, key changes related to the transition to the international standard ISO 20022 for payment formats have entered into force in Kazakhstan. This step significantly affects the process of non-cash payments, namely the rules for forming payment orders.1.     The appearance of new graphs in payment orders • "Actual payer": Now payment orders must specify not only the sender of the money, but also the actual payer. This means that if the payment is made by a separate department, it is important to provide their exact details. •"Moneysender":Thiscolumnshows the details of the person whoinitiates the payment.Thisupdate is importantforaccurateaccounting,especiallyifpaymentsare made throughbailiffsorforseparatedivisions.2.Legalentitiesandseparatedivisions• When a legal entity pays payments for its separate division, the "Actual payer" column now indicates the BIN of that division, rather than the organization itself. This is necessary so that payments are correctly credited to the unit's personal account, and not to the parent company's account. 3. Payments through bailiffs • If the bailiff pays money to the budget for the debtor's obligations, in the "Actual payer" column it is necessary to indicate the data of the debtor himself — last name, first name, patronymic and his IIN. This will help to accurately allocate payments to the debtor's personal account. 4.Postingpaymentstoaccounts From now on, allpaymentswill be posted to thepersonalaccounts of taxpayersorotherparticipants in the paymentsystem, dependingonwho is listedin the "Actualpayer"columns: •Legalentitieswillpayfortheirseparatedivisions by specifying the unit's BIN,andpaymentswill be postedto the unit's personalaccount.• Bailiffs will transfer payments for debtors, and funds will be credited to the debtor's personal account. Accuracy and transparency: New columns in payment orders will ensure more accurate accounting and crediting of payments, which minimizes errors and improves the transparency of financial transactions.  Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kgd-akmola/press/news/details/960537?lang=kk

 In order to strengthen the "Law and Order" narrative in the activities of quasi-public sector entities, as well as provide methodological support to compliance control specialists, the Anti-Corruption Service of the East Kazakhstan region organized an anti-corruption school for compliance officers in the region. The event was attended by more than 150 representatives of quasi-public sector organizations. Opening the school, Asylkhan Ashikov, First Deputy Head of the Anti-Corruption Service of the East Kazakhstan region, presented a report on the current state of compliance activities in the region. In his speech, he noted both the results achieved and the existing problems affecting the effectiveness of compliance services. In particular, it was emphasized that in many organizations the process of internal analysis of corruption risks is formal, limited to standard recommendations, which reduces its practical significance. In this regard, attention is focused on the need to introduce effective anti-corruption mechanisms and the active participation of compliance officers in the formation of a culture of integrity. During the discussion, special attention was paid to the role of compliance officers in strengthening the principles of corporate ethics and law enforcement practice, in particular, in the context of the implementation of the "Adal Azamat" concept presented by the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan at the Kurultai. The report was also delivered by the chief specialist of the state and Legal Department of the office of the Akim of the East Kazakhstan region, E. Karpova, who highlighted the key aspects of the work of compliance services within the framework of TBN4 project management. An important area of the school's work was the professional development of compliance officers. In this context, Professor S. Kovalev of the East Kazakhstan Branch of the Academy of Public Administration under the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan discussed in detail the functional issues of compliance officers, their tasks and responsibilities in the quasi-public sector. V. Nadtochiy, Compliance Officer at Ulba-TVS, shared practical aspects of compliance control and corruption risk management. In his speech, he presented effective risk assessment tools and methods, as well as ways to implement preventive anti-corruption measures.

Efforts to recover illicitly transferred assets remain one of the key tasks of the Anti-Corruption Service.These efforts are carried out in accordance with the President’s directives under the principle of “follow the money” and are an important part of the strategy to prevent corruption, aimed at strengthening public trust in state institutions.Since 2022, assets amounting to over KZT 1.12 trln have been returned to the state and quasi-state sector entities.Illicitly obtained money and property, both within the country and abroad, are actively being sought.To this end, close cooperation is maintained with the Financial Intelligence Unit of the Financial Monitoring Agency of the Republic of Kazakhstan, as well as with international partners through informal communication channels such as “GlobE”, “CARIN”, “ARIN”, and other networks, which allows for the prompt identification and recovery of assets.Similar work is also being carried out by regional departments.For example, during a search conducted by the Anti-Corruption Service of the Zhetysu region at the premises of a suspect in a criminal case involving the embezzlement of budget funds in the education sector, financial documents containing details of a foreign bank were discovered.In cooperation with the FMA’s Financial Intelligence Unit, information was obtained about part of the stolen funds being transferred to accounts at the mentioned foreign bank.Subsequently, using the global “GlobE” network, a liaison officer from the Anti-Corruption Service established contact with foreign colleagues, who confirmed the existence of accounts and financial flows from the suspect and his relative.They also provided data regarding a non-resident of the Republic of Kazakhstan who received funds. An international investigative request for legal assistance has been sent to the competent authorities of the foreign state to freeze these funds for potential confiscation.Cooperation is in progress.Other details are not subject to disclosure in accordance with Article 201 of the Criminal Procedure Code.In general, during financial investigations, assets registered in the names of relatives, trusted persons, or others—often used as nominal owners—are scrutinized. Typically, they cannot justify the legitimacy of the origin of the property and funds used for its acquisition, and their declared income is significantly lower than the value of the assets.For instance, in the East Kazakhstan region, a suspect in a corruption case registered a car and two apartments acquired with criminal funds in the name of an unemployed relative.In Shymkent, an official used embezzled funds to purchase an electric car for his spouse.In Zhetysu, financial investigations led to the identification and seizure of assets valued at KZT 2.8 bln, including cash, six vehicles, and an apartment.These are not isolated cases.All such assets are subject to a freeze, and the issue of their confiscation is resolved by the court when delivering a verdict.During the process of locating, freezing, and recovering assets, as well as determining their beneficial owners and obtaining relevant information and evidence, close cooperation is maintained with the Committee on Asset Recovery of the General Prosecutor’s Office and other law enforcement agencies, including those of foreign states.For example, as a result of joint work with the Committee on Asset Recovery, the Interdistrict Court for Civil Cases in Astana ruled in favor of the state and returned cash, jewelry, and luxury items totaling over KZT 5 bln.Through investigative actions and analysis of the collected materials, reasonable doubts have been established regarding the legitimacy of the sources and origin of these assets, as well as their inconsistency with the declared income or other lawful sources.It should also be noted that, by the President’s directive, all money seized from corrupt officials is allocated for social needs.From the “Education Infrastructure Support Fund,” which has been replenished by KZT 153.3 bln, the construction of 89 schools with nearly 100,000 student places has already been financed in several regions and major cities.Out of the planned 89 schools, 61 have been built and commissioned, providing 74.4 thousand places, of which 29 are located in rural areas.This has helped resolve the shortage of places in 9 educational institutions, including 6 three-shift schools, 2 emergency schools, and 1 dilapidated school.In 2024, 25 new schools were built, most of them in the capital as well as in the Mangystau, Almaty, and Zhambyl regions. All educational institutions have been equipped with modern facilities for comfortable learning.This year, the construction of another 28 schools, providing 22,000 student places, is planned.Another source of financing is the “Special State Fund,” which is replenished from revenues and funds obtained from the sale of property returned to the state, including through the efforts of the Anti-Corruption Service.Part of these funds has already been allocated for the construction of 12 facilities, including 7 schools in rural areas (in the Atyrau, Turkestan, Zhetysu, and Ulytau regions), 2 sports complexes (in the Akmola and Almaty regions), 1 dormitory (in Shymkent), and 2 kindergartens (in Aktobe and Petropavl).In addition, funds from the Special State Fund will be used in the capital to build a new stadium named after K. Munaitpasov with 3,598 seats.Furthermore, 105 healthcare facilities have been approved (including a multifunctional hospital complex in Ridder, ambulance stations, medical centers, clinics, and laboratories), and 162 water supply systems (pipelines and distribution networks, water intake and pressure-regulating structures) have been approved.In total, the Special State Fund has supported investments in approximately 280 socially significant projects across various regions of the country, amounting to KZT 223.9 bln.Efforts to recover assets are in progress.#Law_and_Order #LAWandORDER❗️ If you are faced with corruption, please report it by Hotline 1424 and send photos/videos to our WhatsApp chat bot at +7 777 000 1424 and to our Telegram bot @antikorkz_bot!Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/anticorruption/press/news/details/960517?lang=kk

Effective corruption prevention is possible only through active public participation.The Anti-Corruption Agency implements the principle of openness through various communication channels.In our work, the principles of "transparency" and "openness" come first.One of the key areas of the Agency's work is the organization and operation of a call center that ensures prompt and effective interaction with people.The Anti-Corruption Service Call Center operates 24/7 and provides people with free information and consultation support.Operators answer questions about the Agency's activities, and they accept complaints, suggestions, and feedback on anti-corruption issues.The Center responds around the clock to telephone messages reporting cases of corruption, including instances of committed or impending offenses, as well as cases of hindering entrepreneurial activities.Upon receiving a call regarding a suspected corruption offense, the operator immediately connects the caller with a duty officer of the Agency, who registers the report and takes prompt response measures.Thus, each report is verified in a timely manner.If sufficient grounds exist, a pre-trial investigation is initiated.In 2024, the Call Center received over 26,000 inquiries:- Approximately 5,800 consultations were provided on anti-corruption issues;- 862 messages contained signs of corruption offenses.The number of criminal cases opened as a result of the reports received through the Call Center is increasing.We remind you that whistleblowers receive a one-time monetary reward if a court decision or guilty verdict against the offender enters into legal force.The incentive is regulated by the Rules and serves as an effective mechanism to stimulate a zero-tolerance approach toward corruption and to engage civil society in the prevention of this dangerous social phenomenon.The reward amounts to up to 10%, but not over 4,000 MCI. That is, for providing reliable information on corruption offenses, a reward of up to KZT 15.7 mln is provided.In 2024, the Anti-Corruption Service rewarded 104 citizens with a total amount of KZT 35.5 mln, including 38 state employees who were recognized with certificates.Most of the reports contain cases of extortion of bribes for not holding individuals criminally and administratively accountable, abuse of power, favoritism, violations in public procurement, and other unlawful actions by officials.The largest number of rewarded individuals are from Karaganda, Aktobe, and West Kazakhstan regions, where between 6 and 10 people have been rewarded.Reports from state employees themselves are also increasing.In 2024, in the city of Shymkent, a citizen "B" was rewarded an amount of KZT 6 mln (or 10% of the bribe amount) for assisting in curbing the criminal activities of citizens "T" and "B."In Astana, a citizen "T" was rewarded KZT 3 mln by the City Department for reporting corruption involving two citizens who incited others to bribe police officers.At the same time, the Anti-Corruption Service ensures the full confidentiality of informants. Since January 3, 2023, this category of citizens has been covered by a comprehensive witness protection program.Now, whistleblowers are protected not only by physical safety but also by enhanced measures for protecting confidential information and their labor rights. Moreover, they cannot be subjected to disciplinary action, dismissed, or transferred to another position without the participation of an Anti-Corruption Service officer as part of a commission. In case of disclosure of confidential information about whistleblower criminal liability is provided.Let us recall that in order to promote an anti-corruption culture and zero tolerance for corrupt practices, as well as to enhance civic engagement, the Anti-Corruption Service has launched a new tool—the Anti-Corruption Agency’s WhatsApp chat-bot 1424—for promptly reporting cases of corruption.Now, any citizen can report corruption or receive consultations on anti-corruption issues via WhatsApp.To do so, simply send a message to +7 777 000 1424.What can you do through the WhatsApp chat-bot 1424?- Report corruption cases;- Receive consultations on anti-corruption issues.We guarantee full confidentiality of all reports. Every message will be reviewed, and if violations are identified, measures will be taken in accordance with current legislation.However, we remind you that knowingly submitting false reports about corruption carries criminal liability.Any person can report a corruption case by calling 1424 to the Call Center, which operates 24/7, or via the WhatsApp chat-bot 1424 at +7 777 000 1424, or by visiting the regional Antikor Ortalygy.The Anti-Corruption Service urges citizens to contact the Call Center at 1424 if they have any information about corruption cases.#Law_and_Order #LAWandORDER❗️ If you are faced with corruption, please report it by Hotline 1424 and send photos/videos to our WhatsApp chat-bot at +7 777 000 1424 and to our Telegram bot @antikorkz_bot!Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/anticorruption/press/news/details/960475?lang=kk
