Adviser to the Auditor General Sigita Rojutė-Balčiūnienė and Aurelija Brukštutė, Area Manager of the Planning and Impact Department, visited Astana, Kazakhstan this week to discuss the progress of the ongoing Peer review of the Supreme Audit Institution (SAI) of Kazakhstan.
The visit, which took place on 7-11 April, focused on meetings with representatives of the Kazakhstan’s Parliament, the Ministry of Finance and the Supreme Audit Institution.
"Interviews with audit clients - the stakeholders and the auditees - reveal the true contribution of the public auditors to the changes in the country and allow the reviewers to better understand the impact of the audit results and the trust in the SAI's activities", said Ms Rojutė-Balčiūnienė.
The meetings discussed the public audit methodology, conduct, quality management and quality assurance, as well as other important organisational issues of the SAI of Kazakhstan.
The Peer review of the SAI of Kazakhstan is carried out by the National Audit Office, together with the SAIs of Portugal and Turkey, with the aim of providing observations that will help the institution to ensure compliance with International Standards of Supreme Audit Institutions. The Peer reviewa is expected to be completed in autumn 2025.
