Regarding future cooperation with the Project, the Chairwoman of the Accounting Chamber mentioned activities such as targeted training for auditors and broad expert discussions on the implementation of the Accounting Chamber’s recommendations concerning public procurement which arise from the results of audits among other initiatives.

For reference. Component 2 of the EU4PFM Project provides support to the Ukrainian authorities responsible for overseeing the public procurement process within their mandates: the Ministry of Economy of Ukraine, the Accounting Chamber of Ukraine, the State Audit Service of Ukraine, and the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine. The Accounting Chamber systematically analyses the annual reports of the Ministry of Economy on the functioning of the public procurement system, and conducts audits on procurement both as a separate audit measure and withing the framework of compliance audits.
