The speaker of the parliament stated that relations with audit offices would always remain friendly, open and constructive. He also stressed that the Accounting Chamber of Ukraine is the main control mechanism in the country. In addition, the Chairman emphasized that the Accounting Chamber’s role is crucial in drafting Ukraine’s 2020 state budget. According to him, the chamber’s positive initiatives will be supported and implemented.
In his turn, the Chairman of the Accounting Chamber of Ukraine Valerii Patskan emphasized that the Accounting Chamber remains to be a reliable partner of the Verkhovna Rada in the budget and planning process.
The Chairman of the Committee on Budget Yurii Aristov stressed that the outmoded approaches to budgeting and use of public funds are things of the past. "We will build budget processes based on progressive approaches and innovations implemented in developed countries," he said.
