Representatives of SCAAK are participating in the series of webinars of the World Bank Center for Financial Reporting Reform (CFRR) on "Implementation of the statutory audit regulation in the European Union: The experience of France" from 9-12 February, 2021.

Strengthening Auditing and Reporting in the Eastern Partnership (STAREP) is a regional program of the World Bank’s Centre for Financial Reporting Reform (CFRR) for Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine and it was launched in October 2013 with a 5 years duration. In early 2019 the project was extended for about 36 months with the help of additional funding provided by the Austrian Development Agency.

The objective of these series of webinars is to continue enhancing participants’ knowledge about public oversight and audit quality assurance systems, through presentations and discussions about key principles of audit oversight and processes of quality assurance systems. Following STAREP support, countries implemented, reformed or are in process of establishment a public oversight function. Consequently, learning in-depth about implementation of the statutory regulation by France is of particular interest to all participants.

Webinars are delivered in close cooperation with the French Audit Oversight institution H3C (le Haut conseil du commissariat aux comptes), an independent regulatory authority for the audit profession in France.

This event brought together representatives of public oversight bodies from STAREP countries and in addition, participants from Kosovo, Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, North Macedonia and Serbia as well as some other countries.
