The Commission for Public Supervision of the Registered Auditors was established in 2008 with the amendments to the Independent Financial Audit Act. It states that the Commission is a collegial body that takes into account its activities to Parliament and consists of a chairman and four members. The Commission is responsible for the supervision over:

  • The acquisition of capacity and registration of auditors, including auditors and audit enterprises from other states and member states of the European Union, as well as from third countries under certain conditions, and the deprivation of the capacity for the practice of audit activity
  • Acceptance and compliance with professional ethics standards, internal quality control in audit enterprises when performing an audit
  • Continuing training of auditors, the system of guaranteeing the quality of the audits, for investigation and imposition of penalties in law specified by law.

The focus of the regulator's efforts is on the control of those companies where the public interest is highest – these are banks, insurers, pension funds, leasing houses traded on the stock exchange companies, companies from the Utility sector. It is a total of about 800 companies from over 10,000 with a compulsory audit. They are obliged to submit the auditor certified by the auditor, and since possible manipulations with their papers would have serious consequences for consumers, the quality of their audits is subjected to further inspection by the committee.
