According to the amendments, the number of auditors will be reduced from nine to three, which is part of the President's decree on reforming and simplifying public administration.
Under the new rules, one auditor is appointed by parliament on the president's proposal, while two are appointed on their own initiative. The term of office for auditors will be five years, with a limit of two consecutive terms.
The need for these changes is explained by the shortage of inspectors. With the current staff of 98 people, it is insufficient for the effective operation of nine auditors, leading to delays in audits in government institutions of up to six months. It is planned that the new structure, which provides for 30-40 inspectors per auditor, will significantly speed up the audit process.
Preliminary estimates suggest that optimizing the staff of auditors will save about 30 million soms from the state budget.
