According to the Ministry of Economy of Ukraine, an analytical report on the issue of substantiated definition of the criteria for a mandatory independent audit of enterprises under state ownership or establishing a mandatory independent audit for all state-owned enterprises without exception has been prepared.
The analytical report was published on January 18, 2024 on the official website of the Ministry of Economy of Ukraine in the section "Discussion of Draft Documents" (at the link: http://surl.li/tnwff)
In addition, the Ministry of Economy of Ukraine reported that the Law of Ukraine dated February 22, 2024 No. 3587-IX On Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of Ukraine on Improving Corporate Governance amended, in particular, the Commercial Code of Ukraine and the Law of Ukraine On Management of State-Owned Properties, which provide for annual independent audits of the financial statements of all state-owned unitary enterprises, commercial companies with more than 50 per cent of shares (stakes) owned by the state.
At the same time, due to this Law the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine is no longer empowered to determine the criteria for classifying state unitary enterprises and commercial companies with more than 50 per cent of shares (stakes) owned by the state as those whose financial statements (including consolidated ones) are subject to mandatory audit by an independent auditor, depending on the book value of assets of such state unitary enterprises or commercial companies.
