DUSHANBE, June 19, 2013, Asia-Plus — On Wednesday June 19, the Majlisi Namoyandagon (Tajikistan’s lower house of parliament) endorsed the bill requiring amendments to the country’s law on inspection of activities of economic entities.
Speaking at the parliamentary session, Dilmurod Davlatov, the head of the Chamber of Accounts of Tajikistan, in particular, noted that the Chamber of Accounts was authorized to conduct audit on the targeted use of budgetary funds at all public institutions.
“Besides, the Chamber of Accounts now also has the right to conduct audit at non-governmental organizations that receive financial support from Tajikistan’s national budget,” Davlatov noted.
We will recall that the Majlisi Namoyandagon passed the law on the establishment of the Chamber of Accounts on June 1, 2011. This government institution reportedly controls revenue and expenditure parts of the national budget, off-budget funds and investments coming in the country’s economy from abroad. The Chamber of Accounts was established to tighten control of finances as well as conduct audit and assess the national budget. The Chamber of Accounts is accountable to the President and the Parliament.
The Majlisi Namoyandagon elects chief auditors of the Chamber of Accounts upon the recommendation of the President; chief auditor may be elected to not more than two seven-year terms.
