Authorizing Legislation of SAI Amended
The legislative acts that regulate the activities of the Azerbaijan Chamber of Accounts were amended in 2008. These amendments enhanced the status of the Chamber of Accounts and its staff, increased the provisions for them, and expanded the scope of the Chamber’s activities and authorities.
In December 2008, a new Deputy Chairman was appointed and three auditor members of the Chamber were reappointed by the Parliament for a new term of office.
Currently, 18 national rules on public sector auditing are being prepared. The rules are based on INTOSAI standards.
