Kazakhstan has formed a political vision for the development of internal state audit until 2030

The Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan has approved the first Concept for the Development of Internal State Audit until 2030 — a strategic document defining a new stage in the development of the internal state audit system.

The adoption of the Concept is an important stage in the development of public administration and marks the transition to a modern model of internal state audit based on risk prevention, a risk-oriented approach, digital technologies, and data analytics.

The effectiveness of the implemented reforms is already confirmed by the results. Based on the results of the first half of 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, the number of audit activities decreased by 7%, while the amount of identified financial violations increased by 76%.

Along with this, the volume of budget funds for which preventive measures were taken without conducting an audit more than doubled – from 200 billion tenge to 500 billion tenge.

Such dynamics indicate a transition to intelligent audit, ensuring more accurate risk identification with a lower control burden.

The Concept is aimed at improving the efficiency of public finance utilization, the quality of public administration, and the transparency of budget processes.

As noted by the Minister of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan Madi Takiyev, the development of internal state audit today requires not only control but also the creation of mechanisms that allow for timely identification of risks and proactive management decision-making:

«The future of state audit lies in technology, quality data, and the prevention of violations. Our task is to ensure the efficient use of state resources and increase public trust in the financial management system».

The implementation of the Concept will make it possible to form a modern internal state audit system that aligns with the best international approaches and meets the sustainable development goals of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

Kazakhstan is becoming one of the first countries in the region to formulate a long-term strategy for the development of internal state audit with an emphasis on digitalization.
