participants of inspection. The
most important is that it allows
to transit from statement of
facts of violations to their
prevention, the analysis of
cause-and-effect relationship
between committed offenses
for their future prevention.
The bill on the state audit has
been developed for more than
three years. However, fundametal
bill amendments were submitted
within the Plan of the nation - 100
concrete steps on realization of five
institutional reforms of the Head of
state Nursultan Nazarbayev, and
namely of the 93rd step.
Under the new law accents are
displaced from audit of compliance
to audit of efficiency and the
materiality concept starts being used.
(Example: less than 3% of
expenses of the audited article for
audit of the financial reporting are
insignificant.)
I would like to cover the main
aspects of the new law which has
already come into force.
The new law resolves the
following problematic issues:
1) Duplication of financial
inspections is excluded by
definition and division of
functions between inspection
bodies.
First of all the plan of inspections
will be formed by Accounts
committee, financial control and
revcoms will plan inspections
according to the plan of the
supreme audit institution (acts of
IAS are not a part of the internal
control system).
From now then the acts of
inspections carried out earlier will
be mutually admitted. It is provided
the personal responsibility for non-
admitting of acts.
The common database
will allow to create archive of
inspections and recommendations
on them. It will also exclude
duplication.
2) Transition from sanctions
control to preventive audit with
application of the control system of
risks (CSR) is legislatively fixed.
It was adopted the division
of violations into financial and
procedural ones.
(Example: The Committee of
financial control has inspected
about 20% of expenditure budget
during 10 months of the current
year. Coverage increased from 1,2
trillion tenge to 1,6 trillion tenge in
comparison with the similar period
of the last year, at the same time
there were more violations - 341,3
billion tenge to 297,7 billion tenge
of the last year. Legislative violations
on government procurements
made up 170 billion. It has been
compensated 2 billion tenge of
the budget and 86 billion tenge of
goods and services sum. It is a post
factum result of control.)
It is more important for
government bodies to work
on prevention. Even today the
first experiences of compliance-
control introduction allowed to
use effectively 1,3 billion tenge of
budgetary funds.
3) The in-house audit
institute (an anti-corruption
measure) is being imbedded.
100% of
state procurement
procedures will be carried out in an
electronic form in compliance with
the new bill on state procurements.
It will allow to introduce system
of in-house audit without
serious consequences: a special
computer will check compliance
of procedures to the current
legislation (13% - 3,3 trillion tenge
of state procurements whereas
to the present moment only 439
billion tenge has been inspected).
In-house audit will allow to reveal
violations from an early stage up to
contract conclusions.
THE NEW LAW ON THE STATE AUDIT
WILL EXCLUDE DUPLICATION OF FINANCIAL INSPECTIONS
қараша | ноябрь | november № 11 (23)
141
The Committee of financial control will receive
reports for independent elimination of violations.
At timely correction of mistakes officials are excused
from administrative responsibility.
4) It has been introduced the concept of
electronic audit - the tool which will allow to use the
integrated databases and state information systems
without access to the object.
5) All inspections will be carried out on the
basis of the Control System of Risks (CSR). For
planned inspection of the riskiest spheres of economy
there will be developed the special criteria on grounds
of branch and procedural signs.
6) Interaction with the law-enforcement block
and introduction of quality control on standards
compliance.
For today 30% (1592 inspections) of all inspection
volume is carried out by orders of law enforcement
agencies. The involved experts of the Committee of
financial control issued the conclusions which were
not subject to quality control. From this point on the
Committee of financial control will report results of
all earlier carried out inspections from the Common
Database without repeated exit. All information within
the interaction with the law-enforcement block will be
subject to quality control.
7) The unused capacity of the Internal Audit
Services will be realized through increase of their
role and creation of the audit and risks Council.
For example, today the number of the IAS accounts
for 407 workers (including TsGO – 158, MIO – 249) who
within 9 months have revealed violations for the sum
of 50 billion tenge or 4,7% from the inspected sum of 1
043,8 billion tenge.
I also would like to tell that the Internal Audit Services
simply duplicate the work of the Committee of financial
control on violation identification. IAS generally cover
financial side, i.e. the main focus is made on the facts of
inappropriate use of budgetary funds.
On a new format of Service of internal audit will
help the first head with control of the tasks set for it
with providing recommendations about the optimum
solution of the arising problems.
In all government bodies there will be created the
audit and risks Council must be heafef by the chief
executive officer. The Council, being an advisory and
deliberative body, will be a platform of negotiations for
the Internal Audit Services on prevention of the same
mistakes in other divisions.
8) Audit of corporate (quasi-state) sector undergoes
outsourcing.
9) The national commission will certify auditors
following the results of examination for appropriate
application of the adapted international methodology. It
is expected to certify more than 1000 state auditors.
The new methodology demands training of future
auditors. The Ministry of Finance has already been
implementing it: 600 employees have already been
trained at various seminars and practical courses.
Hello! Does everybody have to install an
online cash register, even in the village? What
if no bottle of alcohol is sold in the whole day?
What then to do, how to issue pay receipts?
According to item 1 of Art. 645 of the Tax Code
taxpayers engaged in the wholesale and (or) retail trade
in petrol (except for aviation gasoline), diesel oil, and
alcohol products, except for taxpayers operating in the
places with no public telecommunications networks
available, in the course of merchandise transactions
performed through cash settlements shall be obliged
to use cash register machines with a data recording
and (or) transmission function.
Thus, the obligation for application of such cash
registers arises at the taxpayers engaged in the
wholesale and (or) retail trade in petrol (except for
aviation gasoline), diesel oil, and alcohol products,
since July 1, 2015.
Thus, if you besides retail trade in alcoholic products
are engaged in the trade in other goods, you are
obliged to apply a cash register with function of fixing
and (or) data transmission and to issue pay receipts for
all types of the goods realized by you.
According to item 8 of Art. 263 of the Tax
Code of RK, an invoice issued in hard copy shall
be certified for legal entities by signatures of
the chief executive officer and chief accountant.
Also an invoice can be certified by the signature
of the officer authorized on that by the order of
the taxpayer.
We receive invoices with the indication of
full name of the officer authorized for signing of
invoices for the chief executive officer and chief
accountant. Suppliers refuse our requirement to
indicate full name of the chief executive officer
and chief accountant, and below the full name
of the authorized officer, referring to legitimacy
of their actions. Is it correct from our part to
demand obligatory filling of the chief executive
officer and chief accountant’s full names even if
the authorized officer undersigns for them?
In case if the order of the taxpayer provided the
authorized officer to assure invoices, the requirement
for obligatory filling of the chief executive officer and
chief accountant’s full names does not correspond to
the tax law of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

Dana URALOVA,
the chief expert of the budget loan provision
department of the RK National fund and
interaction with financial sector
The budget loan provision is one of the forms
of the budget expenditure financing, which
provides legal entities or other budget with
financial resources on a returnable and paid
basis.
As a new form of the centralized of financial
resources redistribution the budget loan provision
appeared after World War II and quickly turned
into an active tool of the state on economy
reconstruction. The greatest popularity the budget
loan provision gained in Great Britain where they
are given to state corporations and local self-
government institutions for a period of 5, 10, 15 and
25 years at very high interests (13–14% per annum)
from the National fund of loans.
In France the budget loans are given to debtors
through the Fund for Economic and Social
Development, which formation is considerably
based on the expense of budgetary funds. The
Fund accommodates long-term loans for 7-20 years,
and not only to the state corporations, but also
to private monopolies; especially gross loans are
accommodated to agricultural producers.
In Kazakhstan the budgetary loan provision has
been used rather recently – after transfer of the
national economy to market bases of economy
management. The loans are mainly available for
investment purposes and serve as one of forms
of the state financial support of the enterprises
which are carrying out production restructuring,
modernization of equipment, etc.
Both state and non-state enterprises and
organizations can be subjects of the budgetary
loan provision. The budgetary loans can be
accommodated to:
1) specialized organizations –banks, organizations
which carry out special types of bank operations
and also to organizations which controlling block of
shares belong to the state, national holding or the
national operating holding, which are the residents
of the Republic of Kazakhstan;
2) local executive bodies;
3) foreign states;
4) private individuals.
The performance of obligations under the budget
loan is secured by a pledge, guarantee, surety ship
or other means, provided by the legislation of the
Republic of Kazakhstan or the contract.
In its turn, in line with Article 292 of the Civil code
of the Republic of Kazakhstan, The execution of an
obligation may be secured with damages, pledge,
lien on the debtor’s property, sureties, guarantee,
advance payments, and other methods provided for
by legislation or the agreement.
The budget loans from the republican budget
can be allocated to the local executive bodies and
the financial agencies, the list of which is determined
by the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan
without the enforcement of obligations.
The order for inclusion of the financial agencies in
the list of financial agencies that receive the budget
loans from the republican budget without security
is determined by the Government of the Republic of
Kazakhstan.
Thus the cost of enforcement for returning
the budget loan should not be less than the
amount of the budget loan with the amount of the
remuneration.
Sureties and guarantees of the legal entities,
which have arrears on obligatory payments or
liabilities to the certain budget, and also sureties and
guarantees of legal entities, which net assets value

is less than a value equal to the sum of the granted
loan taking into account the remuneration sum,
cannot act as ensuring performance of obligations.
A budget loan can be granted only to those legal
entities, which have no arrears to budgetary funds
which were allocated on a returnable basis earlier.
Appraisal of ensuring performance of obligations
on a budget loan is carried out in accordance with
the legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
Service payment on appraisal of obligations
ensuring performance on a budget loan is made by a
borrower or a subborrower.
Granting conditions of public funds on a
competitive basis are: recoverability, availability
for a price, urgency, target granting of funds and
economic security. Budget loan planning is carried
out in the course of formation of the budget for the
next fiscal year. The government analyzes parameters
of the draft project of budget loans provision on
a returnable basis on each type of expenses at
consideration of the draft budget in the legislative
(representative) body.
It is obligatory to prescribe the following
statements at budget adoption:
– the purposes on which budget loans can be
granted;
– conditions and order of their granting;
– limits of budget loans allocation for a term of a
year and for the term which goes beyond the fiscal
year;
– restrictions on the subjects which are granted
with a budget loan.
After a fiscal year a report on granting and
repayment of a budget loan is formed (it is applied to
the report on budget performance).
Reimbursement of a budget loan, which was
granted to legal entities, usage charges are equated
to payments into the budget. If a borrower,
a guarantor or a surety does not perform the
obligations on the budget loan repayment, does fail
interest and other payments provided by the signed
contract, government bodies or a designated person
on their obligations take measures for compulsory
collecting of arrears (including enforcement of a
charge) from the borrower, the guarantor or the
surety.
Restructuring of a budget loan is the change of
the terms, the financial and other conditions of the
performance of their obligations by the agreement of
the parties under the loan agreement.
The decision on the restructuring of the budget
loan is made based on the analysis of the financial
condition of the borrower, if the borrower has a plan
to improve the financial situation.
Restructuring of a budget loan is made by:
1) the changes in the period of repayment of
principal and (or) payment of remuneration;
2) the capitalization (summary) of debt for the
budget loan, remuneration and other payments on
the loan.
Restructuring of a budget loan is based on
the creditor’s solutions for each loan agreement
with a positive resolution of the consultation and
advisory body of the Government of the Republic of
Kazakhstan and the local executive bodies.
Restructuring of a budget loan may be made not
more than once.
Restructuring of a budget loan is issued through

no more once.
Restructuring of a budget loan is made out by

obligations under the loan agreement by a borrower,
in the case of coincidence of the borrower and the
creditor in one person or the liquidation of the
borrower-legal entity under the legislation of the
Republic of Kazakhstan or on the basis of a judicial
act.
The creditor’s claim on the state educational and
student loans are terminated on the basis of the Law
on the republican budget in the event of death of
the borrower or declaring him (her) as dead.
In case of liquidation of the borrower-legal entity,
the termination of the creditor’s claim for repayment
of the budget loan is carried out after making
the preliminary procedures for the assessment of
performance of the obligations, provided by the
legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan on:
1) budget loans, granted from the republican
budget on the basis of the Law on the republican
budget;
2) budget loans, granted from the local budget,
based on the decision of maslikhat.

In case of non-performance of loan obligations by
the borrower or his guarantor the bodies authorized
by regulations of the Republic of Kazakhstan or the
designated person on their obligations authorized
by these bodies take measures for compulsory
collecting of debt or pledge from the guarantor, the
borrower or the surety. The loan is considered to be
repaid from the moment of the last money transfer.
From this point the obligations on the contract of the
budgetary crediting are considered to be performed.
For reference:
The internal budget loan is a form of the
budget expenditures financing which provides
funding to legal entities or other budget on a
returnable and a remuneration basis.
At granting an internal budget loan as borrowers
can act the followings:
• budgets of other levels of the RK budgetary
system;
• specialized organizations;
• private individuals.
In the mid-nineties the republican budget of the
Republic of Kazakhstan was an active creditor within
the country. Funding of considerable sums on a
returnable basis was available both to enterprises
and subjects of the Republic of Kazakhstan, including
the funding which was allocated to support of the
enterprises functioning on the RK territory.
It was supposed that such a form of financing,
firstly, will stimulate the most effective and rational
use of the received resources, secondly, will allow
to enrich the budget income due to interests
repayment, thirdly, will allow to whittle down
budgetary expenses as borrowers will try to minimize
their expenses and by that to use the minimum sums
of budgetary financing, and fourthly, after a certain
period of time the allocated loans will be repaid.
Need for budget loan provision was explained
as well by the fact that commercial banks generally
allocated loans for the population. Among
the commercial enterprises only big revenue
organizations managed to obtain expensive bank
loans.
Since the beginning of the XXI century Kazakhstan
refuses of widespread use of budget loans. On the
one hand, this results from the fact that in practice
the system of budgetary crediting did not justify
itself. The loans were not repaid timely, interests
of them were not as well. On the other hand,
commercial banks began more and more actively to
credit the enterprises, loan interest rates began to
decrease, need for budget loans disappeared.
Due to these reasons the conditions of budgetary
crediting become tougher. It is being introduced
the requirement according to which budget loans
can be granted to legal entities, which are not local
executive bodies or specialized organizations, only
on condition that the borrower provides ensuring
performance of obligations on the loan repayment.
Only bank guarantees, surety ship, pledge of property
of not less than 100% of the granted loan can be
ways of providing.
The purposes on which a budget loan can be
granted, conditions and order of granting are defined
at the adoption of the budget for the next fiscal year.
At the present time borrowers of the loans
granted from the republican budget are generally
budgets of other levels and specialized organizations.
External state loans. Under the Budgetary code
(Art. 177) the foreign states can be borrowers of the
Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
The principal on budget loans, provided to
foreign states, forms the foreign debt to the Republic
of Kazakhstan.
In 1990-s the difficult financial situation did not
allow the Republic of Kazakhstan to act on the world
market as an active creditor. However, in 1970-s – the
first half of the 1980-s USSR played an important role
on the world scene as one of the leading crediting
states. In particular the debt volume of the foreign
borrowers, which still has not been repaid, can prove
it. So, for instance, according to the data on the 1st
January, 2005 nearly fifty states remained debtors of
the former USSR and the Government of the Russian
Federation on the loans granted by the Government.
Some of the biggest debtors are India, Cuba, Sudan,
Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan. There are also Benin, Burundi,
Guinea-Bissau, Jordan, Madagascar, Morocco, Nepal,
the Republic of Seychelles and many others among
debtors. In total debt of the foreign states on loans of
the USSR and the Russian Federation accounted for
more than 83 billion dollars according to the data on
the 1st January, 2005.
Tajikistan and Georgia are registered as debtors
of the Republic of Kazakhstan from 1990-s. The debt
of the Republic of Tajikistan made about 12 million
dollars (8th April, 2002), the debt of the Georgian
party made about 28 million dollars (1st July, 1996).
In its turn now the Republic of Tajikistan timely
discharges obligations on these debt relations, and
the last repayment of the Republic of Tajikistan is
expected on 31st December, 2015.
The leading crediting states united in the Paris
Club to simplify collection of debts. The club was
founded in 1956 when representatives of a number
of the West European crediting countries gathered
to discuss a question of settlement of payments
balances on their calculations with Argentina. Аfter
the crisis of developing countries debts burst in the
early eighties, regular meetings of the Paris Club
became creditors` main form of coordination of
all financial questions connected with revision of
conditions of developing countries` official debt
repayment. Georgia is also the member of the
Paris Club (club of creditors), and that is why at the
present time it is held negotiations on Georgia debt
obligations performance towards the Republic of
Kazakhstan.
