A meeting with representatives of the professional audit community was held at the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan, chaired by Vice Minister of Finance Aset Tursysov. Ekaterina Smyshlyaeva, deputy of the Kurultai of the Republic of Kazakhstan, took part in the discussion.The participants considered issues related to the preparation of audit reports in the information system “Financial Reporting Depository,” which is owned by the Ministry of Finance.On July 12, 2026, amendments to the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan “On Auditing,” introduced by Law No. 256-VIII of January 9, 2026, came into force, requiring the submission of electronic audit reports to the Financial Reporting Depository.
