The process of formation and
development
of a national system of accounting
and auditing in the Republic of Kazakhstan
Dynamically
developing Kazakhstan's economy attracts foreign investors. A successful
functioning of the economy is impossible without the use of real levers of
control and progressive organization tools, such as system monitoring and
accounting, factor analysis.
The organization of modern social production is not possible without control
over it. Management is designed to organize, coordinate, regulate and control
the business activities of individual workers and productive units. Accounting
is one of the main places in the system of governance, reflecting the real
processes of production, circulation, distribution and consumption, describing
the financial condition of the company, it is the basis for planning,
forecasting and analyzing its activities.
Economic accounting is a reflection of the quantitative and qualitative
characteristics of economic phenomena and processes in order to control and
manage them more effectively.
The reform of accounting allows for transparency, accuracy and completeness of
the analyzed information contained in the financial statements, effectively
used for maximum economic benefit. In addition, innovations in accounting
significantly increase the level of openness of the economy, which is a
requirement of time. On the openness of the economy is judged not only by the
share of exports in gross domestic product, or other statistical indicators,
but also by how much data about the economy are available to all who need them,
and how high the transparency and reliability of these data.
In Kazakhstan, the reform of accounting and reporting institutions and the
gradual transition to IFRS began with independence was secured in 1995 with the
publication of the Decree of the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan having
the force of law "On Accounting". The adoption in 1996 of Kazakh
Accounting Standards (KAS), developed on the basis of international standards,
was the beginning of the transition to IFRS.
According to the Law "On Accounting and Financial Statements",
"Accounting is a system for the collection and compilation of registration
information on transactions and events businesses and organizations regulated
by the laws of the Republic of Kazakhstan on accounting and financial
reporting, accounting standards and accounting policy "[1].

Another
key point in the development of accounting has been a shift in 1995-1996,
accounting operations performed on the accrual basis in the recognition of
income and expenses. This method is one of the main principles of IFRS. The
advantage of this method over the previously used the cash method is the
ability to determine the current financial condition of the subject through the
objective analysis of the expected actual income or retirement funds.
In 1998 it adopted the State program of development and improvement of
accounting and auditing in the Republic of Kazakhstan for 1998 - 2000. Main
napravleniyaprogrammy: development of a unified methodological concept of
accounting and auditing, including relevant accounting standards and the
computerization of the accounting problems of internal control, an independent
audit, the creation of the Institute of Professional Accountants, as well as
issues of international cooperation in the field of accounting and auditing
.The main purpose of the program is - to ensure the development and
implementation of a new accounting system that meets the requirements of
radical economic reforms, expansion of international relations and the
integration of Kazakhstan into the world community to ensure the subjects
required financial information, user-oriented, and enhance professionalism in
the field of accounting accounting and auditing.
In 2002, it approved a new Model chart of accounts. Adoption then close or
based on international accounting standards Kazakhstan (KAS) was the basis of
the restructuring of thought "accountant" and adapting to the new
philosophy of the accounting profession. Modern accountant should prepare
high-quality information to make effective management decisions that determine
the marketing strategy and tactics of the organization's financial side. It
should be noted that it was KAS played a role in the transition to a market
economy.
In 2001, the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan was established
Methodological Council on accounting and auditing, the purpose of which was the
creation of transfer to IFRS accounting system across the
gosudarstva.Pervonachalno task was to develop on the basis of IFRS own Kazakh
accounting standards, however, on the basis of appropriate, the Council adopted
a decision on legislative consolidation of the financial statements according
to international standards adopted by the Committee in accordance with IFRS.
As a result, in the first half of 2002, the biggest and most essential step in
the transition to IFRS has been the introduction of the Ministry of Finance of
changes and additions to the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan "On
accounting" under which it was clearly determined that a January 1, 2003
financial institutions, from 1 January 2005, the share of non-financial sectors
of society and from 1 January 2006, all other organizations are exclusively
financial reporting in accordance with IFRS, officially translated into the
state and Russian languages.
In
2007, the new Law of RK "On Accounting and Financial Statements" [2],
the differences which are as follows:
1. The introduction of a system in which the financial statements in accordance
with IFRS required to be only subjects large businesses and public interest
entities. Small and medium-sized businesses prepare their financial statements
according to national accounting standards. This voluntary choice of IFRS for
them is not prohibited. These measures are in line with government policy to
promote and support private enterprise;
2. envisages improving the quality of financial reporting and the ability to
monitor the financial reporting by establishing a certain level of requirements
for chief accountants of public interest organizations and the creation of the
depository financial statements;
3. introduce elements of self-regulation in accounting and financial
statements, with the introduction of the Advisory Body consisting of
representatives of professional organizations, government bodies and other
organizations; accreditation of professional accountancy bodies and
organizations of the professional certification of accountants
For example, in Kazakhstan have adopted national accounting standards: NSFO¹1
and NAS ¹2 (Order of the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan
dated June 21, 2007, under number 218).
National Accounting Standard ¹1 was designed to determine the order of
accounting and financial reporting by small businesses applying under tax
legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan special tax regimes, as well as
peasants or farmers, legal entities - agricultural producers, entrepreneurs
which are small businesses.
National Accounting Standard ¹2 defines the procedure for the implementation of
accounting and financial reporting: small and medium enterprises; non-profit
organizations, branches and representative offices of foreign legal entities
registered in the Republic of Kazakhstan in accordance with the legislation of
the Republic of Kazakhstan; state-owned enterprises based on the right of
operational management (public enterprises).
In 2013, the republic introduced a single national standartbuhgalterskogo
accounting, which defines the principles and qualitative characteristics of
financial reporting, accounting and financial reporting by small businesses, as
well as legal entities, sole activity which is the organization of exchange
operations with foreign currency (Order of the Ministry Finance of the Republic
of Kazakhstan for the number 50 on 13.01.13g. "On approval of the National
Financial Reporting Standards")
The maximum approach to IFRS enables companies of Kazakhstan to compete across
the international economy.
For the effective development and functioning of the market, the company will
determine for themselves the range of purposes and seeks to implement them. Any
economic entity engaged in industrial or commercial activities, need for
quality management and implementation of advanced technologies that make the
process of managerial decision-making fast and efficient. Activities of
professional services firms, providing professional services, business entities
of the economy, provides the effective use of advanced technologies and
progressive management.
Key management functions such as planning, organization, analysis, motivation,
control, accounting closely linked with the audit, which allows to identify and
eliminate possible mistakes priplanirovanii, organization and regulation of
economic processes of economic entities.
The emergence and formation of professional audit - a process
dostatochnodlitelny not ended vremya.Audit currently has more than 200-year
history, its occurrence is related to the division of the interests of those
who are directly engaged in enterprise management (administration, management)
and those who invest in its activities (owners, shareholders and investors).
Development of professional audit takihmezhdunarodnyh promote activities and
regional organizations such as the Committee on International Accounting
Standards (IASC - founded in 1973.), The International Federation of
Accountants (IFAC -Create in 1977.), The International Organization of Supreme
Audit Institutions (INTOSAI- in 1953.) Intergovernmental Working Group of
Experts on International Standards of Accounting and Reporting (ISAR),
established in 1979. at the UNPO, and others. [4]
All
these developments indicate a gradual expansion of the scope and extent of the
audit, which was already not limited to verifying the accuracy of clerical
buhgalterskihzapisey. In developed countries such as the US and the UK have
formed a kind of independent audit. The need to improve them dictated by the
growing demand for reliable financial information about the activities of
economic entities from multiple lenders, investors and other interested users.
Kazakhstan's transition to a market economy in the 90s of the last century, the
corporatization of enterprises sozdaniesovmestnyh enterprises with foreign
capital, led to a need for vozniknoveniiotechestvennogo audit as a tool for
providing predstavlenieinteresov storon.Rynochnye relations dictate the mutual interest
in economic subjects reporting dostovernostibuhgalterskoy different

creditors, government agencies in the face of tax inspections,

The history of the emergence and formation of the audit in the Republic of
Kazakhstan began v1989g., When switchgear (Audit Office), the Ministry of

joint-stock company, which provides audit services to organizations of all
forms of ownership.
The first law "On Auditing in the Republic of Kazakhstan" was adopted
on October 18, 1993 .. Changes in the economic and socio-political life of the
country, led to the development of the new Law "On audit activity",
adopted November 20, 1998 (with amendments and amendments as of 05.05.2015 r.)
[3] .This statute helped perpetuate de facto independence of auditors and audit
organizations in the country.
Compared to the "old" law, it consistently and fully disclosed the
fundamental concepts, principles, types, subjects, the competence of the
authorized bodies, the rules of certification of candidates in auditors,
licensing and implementation of audit activities.
According to the requirements of the Law "On Auditing" were

business infrastructure.

engaged in several organizations, including the International Federation of
Accountants (IFAC), which includes representatives of 158 organizations from
115 countries.
As part of the IFAC auditing standards directly involved in the International

The International Auditing Practices Committee (ICATU) has issued regulations,
consisting of the International Standards of Auditing (ISA) and standards for
the provision of related services (SSA).
The decision on the transition to international standards of auditing and
accepted as national, received legal support by the Law of the Republic of
Kazakhstan "On Auditing." According to this regulation in the country
carried out the audit in accordance with international auditing standards,
which do not contradict the legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan,

requirements of the Constitution, the Civil Code, the Code of Administrative
Offences, the Tax Code, the Law "On Bankruptcy", "On Joint Stock
Companies", "On foreign investments" and other normative acts of
