What is a time-based examination and why is it necessary?  This is one of the methods of tax control in Kazakhstan. In simple words, the tax authorities monitor business activities in real time in order to compare actual incomes with those indicated in the financial statements.  What is the purpose of the survey? To determine the real revenue if there are no supporting documents Compare income data Identify accounting violations Prepare a justification for tax contributions How is the timekeeping going? An order is being issued You are being notified Monitoring is underway — from 1 to 30 days  Real business transactions are recorded An act is drawn up, a conclusion is drawn and, if necessary, measures are assigned (the results are taken into account during a comprehensive audit) Example: In a cafe, they can count visitors, the average receipt, and the number of products sold — and compare this with what is reflected in the reports.  Possible consequences:  Additional taxes (VAT, CPN) Appointment of an unscheduled inspection In severe cases, administrative or criminal liability. Your rights:  Be notified in advance  Be present at all actions Provide explanations and objections  Appeal actions to a court or a higher authority  How to reduce the risks?  Keep transparent records  Keep your documents safe  Submit reports in a timely manner Comply with the norms of the Tax Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan  Who is at risk?  Low tax rate  Permanent losses or "zero" reporting in real-world operations  Business fragmentation Frequent discrepancies at the checkout  Rare use of online sales registers with data transfer to the OGD  Timekeeping is not a surprise check, but a tool for analyzing real turnover. Stay in touch with the accountant, and everything will be calm.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kgd-kostanay/press/news/details/1031969?lang=kk

Во исполнениепоручения Главы государства, озвученного на расширенном заседании коллегии правоохранительных органов 23 июня текущего года, о перезагрузке системыпрогнозирования преступных угроз и противодействия им с использованием потенциала Комитета по правовой статистике и специальным учетам, ведомством разработанкомплекс мер по трансформации Комитета в прогнозно-аналитический центр, ориентированный на раннее выявление и предупреждение рисков в сфереобщественной безопасности. Главная его задача — создать современную систему, которая заранее будет выявлять и предупреждатьвозможные преступные угрозы. В этих целях, по поручению Генерального Прокурора в ведомстве создан в пилотном режиме Центрпрогнозирования преступных угроз и рисков общественной безопасности. Одним из первых его шагов стал запуск 9 июля т.г. вгороде Астане пилотного проекта «ИИ-модель прогнозирования уличной преступности». Проект реализуетсясовместно с Министерством внутренних дел и направлен на то, чтобы заранее выявлять места, где чаще происходят уличные преступления, и усиливать тампрофилактическую работу уполномоченных органов, в т.ч. полиции. Система работает на базе новых технологий и больших данных. Она анализирует сведения опреступлениях — когда и где происходят правонарушения. На основе исторических данных о совершенных в столице преступлениях за последнее десятилетие, системас помощью элементов искусственного интеллекта прогнозирует наибольшую вероятность совершения того или иного преступления в конкретном радиусе. Этопоможет выявить проблемные районы и принимать превентивные меры. Благодаря этим данным, полиция сможет эффективнее планировать маршруты патрулирования и быстреереагировать на возможные правонарушения, а местным исполнительным органам - принимать меры по улучшению безопасной городской инфраструктуры (установка камер видеонаблюдения, освещения и пр.). После успешной апробациипилотного проекта в столице, планируется его масштабирование на другие крупные городские агломерации.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/pravstat/press/news/details/1031979?lang=kk

Million-plus cities are the backbone of the country's global competitiveness, and regional centers should become the core of their regions' growth. In the modern era of urbanization, one of the main tasks is to maintain an ecological balance and improve the quality of life of the population in the process of sustainable urban development. Kyzylorda is a traditional agricultural region. Although Kyzylorda is not a megalopolis, it has embarked on the path of intensive urbanization and has taken concrete steps to improve the level of urban infrastructure and quality of life, as well as to diversify the economy. The share of the urban population is growing, and about 50% of the region's residents live in the regional center. The Kyzylorda region, with the special support of the President and the Government, conducts systematic work in line with the goals of sustainable development, aimed at shaping the modern image of the region through specific strategies. Currently, the regional budget has exceeded 750 billion tenge. These funds are used to solve the most pressing problems of the region, improve the quality of life of the population and implement large-scale infrastructure projects. A new thermal power plant with a capacity of 240 MW worth 215 billion tenge is being built in Kyzylorda with the support of the head of state. The Turkish company Aksa Energy invested more than 135 billion tenge, and the construction was completed by 80%. The center is expected to be put into operation in September. In addition, on the basis of an intergovernmental agreement with Qatar, a combined-cycle gas plant with a capacity of 1,100 MW worth 892 billion tenge will be built in the southern regions to avoid electricity shortages. This megaproject will be fully launched in 2028. Today's forum is a platform to strengthen our joint initiatives to transform cities into liveable, climate–resilient, and inclusive centers. For us, the forum is not just a discussion, but a path to real partnership. We believe that this will give an impetus to further improvement of this work and will contribute to important steps towards achieving common goals in shaping the future of cities," N.
