Summary: | Reports on the Observance of Standards
and Codes (ROSC) Accounting and Auditing (AA) assess
accounting and auditing practices in participating
countries. They form part of a World Bank and International
Monetary Fund joint initiative to review the quality of
implementation of twelve internationally recognized core
standards relevant to economic stability and private and
financial sector development (the ROSC Program). Since its
inception in 2000, the ROSC AA program has concluded
evaluations of the AA environment in more than one hundred
countries around the world. ROSC AA reports have been
produced for all countries of the Europe and Central Asia
Region, except Russia. This report covers the accounting,
audit, and financial reporting frameworks as a whole, paying
particular attention to the financial sector, state owned
enterprises, SMEs and audit regulation - key areas that are
important in the current economic context of Georgia. With
respect to SOEs, the report focuses on the existing
requirements, standards enforcement, and use of financial
reports and statutory audit findings by the Government in
its decision making and monitoring of SOEs. This report also
discusses SMEs existing financial reporting requirements,
and the need to simplify the requirements for the small and
micro businesses. Finally, the report reviews the audit
oversight function and a quality assurance system soon to be
employed by Georgia, and provides recommendations to raise
the quality of audit services through the strengthening of
audit oversight. |
