A briefing was held on the results of the Accounts Chamber's work in the first 9 months of 2026. The Chamber's press secretary reported on the work done and its results.

Audit work: key figures

During the reporting period, 84 audit activities were carried out, 46 of them remotely. The report on the execution of the State Budget and the budgets of state trust funds for the first half of 2026 also underwent an external audit.

Based on the audit results, instructions were given to the responsible organizations, and their implementation is being monitored.

Transformation and staff

• As part of transforming the Accounts Chamber's work, the introduction of international standards, digitalization and artificial intelligence technologies continues.
• More than 300 applications were received for the first-ever open competition.
• A Higher School of State Audit was set up at Tashkent State University of Economics, and modules on CIPFA and INTOSAI standards were added to its curricula.

How to read these figures

The note below is compiled by the author. The "identified" and "recovered" amounts in the table are not the same thing. For example, on the revenue side additional sources of 1.6 trillion soums were identified, while 656.3 billion soums was recovered to the budget, about 41% (656.3 ÷ 1,600). On the spending side, 250.2 billion soums was recovered to the budget.

Takeaway for accountants at organizations that use public funds (budget organizations, public procurement participants): the audit pays particular attention to the legality of public procurement and spending. So it is important to keep procurement documents, contracts and payments in order and consistent with each other.
